Dir: Elia Kazan (1947)

So I watched this a while ago and have been too lazy to post it on here, shame on me! I remember liking it... I think...
Good: I liked it! It had Dana Andrews in it...
No, to be fair, I just liked it. I liked watching him interact with his wife even though it was kind of laughable because everyone knows he's married to me. But, you know, they pay him to act, so - well done, Dana.
It was interesting to see him be all caught up in this moral dilemma because I'm more used to seeing him brooding about something. I guess this follows the Ox-Bow trend of making me slightly uncomfortable with him - I'm used to seeing him play characters with a bit of an edge, not Wholesome Through-and-Through types. As far as the film overall, though... I'm generally a fan of legal dramas so I enjoyed that aspect of it. Also, despite the fact that the internet has nothing on it, I am ONE HUNDRED PERCENT POSITIVE that Arthur Kennedy is Donald Sutherland's father. They look exactly the same. I will prove this one day if it takes everything I have.
Bad: Eh nothing.
Summary: So obviously it wasn't that memorable, which is kind of my bad because I'm forgetful and also partly due to the fact that the movie isn't very exciting. A lot happens and I guess it's dramatic, but it didn't really make an impression... at least on me.
(Minus Dana Andrews and everything he ever says or does. I mean, I do kind of notice that sort of thing automatically.)
Stars: 2.5 of 5, rounding up to 3 in all scenes including Dana
AND YOU WATCHED IT WITH MEEE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty boring. Except Dana's little face.
What a second!? Since when is Dana married to you?! I have been married to Dana for four years now...so...um, yeah. There might be a slight problem here! ;-D
