boho-24367's rating
You would think a movie on from a novel that won the Pulitzer prize; that was a successful play on Broadway, would get some respect. Rotten Tomatoes has nothing on it. You can't buy an English language DVD of this movie on Amazon. Only on You Tube. Yet it has a superb performance by John Hodiak, who proved he could really act. The settings are wonderfully staged. Excellent direction. A heartwarming story about something that matters. Only weakness is Gene Tierney, who gets top billing yet has one fifth of the scenes of Hodiak. She sounds like a girl from the Bronx rather than an Italian country girl. It damages the mood. What were they thinking? Couldn't they get her a voice coach?
This is one of those films I will remember 10 years from now. A lot of that is due to that great actress Frances McD. She is perfect. You feel as if you got the chance to look inside her. Bruised and battered by life she goes on. Many of the actors are real nomads. Maybe that is also why the movie is so real. Beautifully directed, acted and produced. The ending, to me, was fascinating. Thank you all.
Okay, its a spoof. But is it funny enough? I think not and I didn't care. I could watch Loretta Young reading the Farmer's Almanac. Film really needed a Woody Allen or. The geniuses who made "Blazing Saddles."
