Movie Reviews of Clash by Night
Movie Review: Expected More
Summary: 3 Stars
I must say that the movie I enjoyed the movie, but expected more to the story than the dark soap opera effect. While watching the early scenes I thought the Stanwyck character had a deep secret that would come out later. When the uncle and dad were talking in one scene they were discussing the discovery of an abandoned baby. I thought this baby would later turn out to be Ms. Stanwycks which she had left for dead after her previous affair with the married man. The ending was also a disappointment. Some scenes were completely bizarre to me and had nothing to do with the story like the Chinese impersonation bit. What was that all about?Movie Review: Film Noir or just melodrama !
Summary: 3 Stars
To often great european film makers and some americans as well are turn to mush by the hollywood system. Is this the same directer of 'Metropolis' 'M'. ?
Only William Wyler could have lifted this play to great film making, if that! The
over the top performances are good if not entirely believable. Talk about throwing out the baby with the bath water. The baby is no more than a prop!! The camera work is stiff and the characters walk on and off the camera like a broadway play. The running commentary is forced. It's a good women's movie and for that I give it three stars. If you want powerhouse film noir see 'Raw Deal or 'Detour'
Movie Review: As Monterey Turns
Summary: 3 Stars
Despite the gorgeous location cinematography and the top-notch performances by the principle actors it cannot disguise the fact that this film is a potboiler that borders on mawkish soap opera. That would be OK but Warner Brothers included this film in it's second film noir collection and I think it hardly qualifies as noir. That said, see this film for the performances here by Barbara Stanwyck, Paul Douglas, and Robert Ryan who do their darndest to make this film more than it really is. Up and comer Keith Andes(Who?) takes his shirt off. Marilyn Monroe, essentially wasted here, does her requisite bikini scene.Movie Review: Crash by night !
Summary: 3 Stars
This drama started out very well with Barbara Stanwycks character returning home begrudgingly after several failed romances in New York among other cities, but turned into a soap opera with Robert Ryans character and I really lost interest.
This movie is not all bad but not something I would be wanting to watch again any time soon !
Great cast though with Stanwyck, Ryan, Paul Douglas and Marylin Monroe who has a great role and does a fantastic job. Really enjoyed her.
This movie has been listed by some as noir, but I say it more of a simple drama !
