Hell Hath No Fury

Good actors, the dialogues need polishing, nice story for Tarantino.

Much better than the other Reviewers say.

I'd watched worse for sure. This is a nice small story in WWII.

War..combat..explosions..greed...evil.... Nazis.corrupt G I s....a woman without a dress...tunnel rats....skeletons,,,grave robbing...charming French accents....love.....freedom fighters...the underground.... How can you give a movie with all this 1 or 2 stars?

Competent acting, a decent plot with a few surprises, nice music, good cinematography. This is a decent flick.

I watch movies to be entertained. Was I entertained? Yes! Occasionally a movie comes along that stands hands and shoulders above the rest and will score 10/10. This movie doesn't, but it wasn't intended to. The production, direction and acting all knew what was required of them on a low budget. Did they achieve that. Yes they did. To reiterate, "I was entertained". And that's what movies are intended to do! To many so-called expert critics forgetting about entertainment and looking for flaws! Why do people just try and relax and stop looking for perfection and Oscar winners? If it's not for you, move on!

"Hell Hath No Fury" is about a French woman, part of the resistance (Marie), who has sided with Germany but has her own agenda. When she is branded as a collaborator by France, she helps US soldiers (under the command of Major Maitland) looking for the gold hidden by her on a cemetery in exchange for her freedom. I don´t understand the low ratings and bad reviews this movie gets. I have seen worse. Furthermore the storyline and plot twist is not that bad and the dialogues are very good written and executed. In addition the acting of Nina Bergman (Marie) and Louis Mandylor (Major Maitland) is pretty good. Just watch the movie and get through the beginning. Once you are in the flow, you might like this movie. I did!

It was a decent low budget production. When I first saw the utterly ridiculous low overall rating at 3.7, I flipped over to see what the professional critics thought on Rotten Tomatz (88%), so I'm glad I did.

Sure this is no epic Hollywood big budget war film, but is well casted and acted, especially Mandylor and Murphy as the battle-worn and ready American fighters, and Bernhardt as Von Bruckner. The alluring little rocket Nina Bergman was great until the cemetery acts; she either over-acted or looked angry all the time, for no reason. But her performance overall was noteworthy.

The cinematography was excellent and the directing great. The writing by the two amateur writers was lacklustre for the most part, with many plot and technical issues. The 94 min runtime screenplay needed many cuts and edits. It was too long for the barely climatic and too-short storied screenplay.

Yet still, for pretty much a one location set, low budget B film, it's a good one time watch. It's a well deserved 7/10 from me.
