Movie Reviews of Daisy Kenyon (Fox Film Noir)
Movie Review: Daisy Kenyon
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of Joan Crawford's finest performances. She was too old to play Daisy and she knew it, but she saw a chance to give a controlled, sincere performance. She fought for and got two of the hottest male stars of the time, Dana Andrews and Henry Fonda. Andrews was just off of LAURA and Fonda had just returned from the War. They both excel in their roles. Of course a key light does follow Joan highlighted her expressive eyes in many scenes, but other than that, the whole production is top drawer. Otto Preminger directs with a sure, professional hand. Ruth Warrick is also a plus as Andrew's neurotic wife. Production values are great. A super scene at The Stork Club, full of atmosphere and famous personalities making cameo appearances. Look for John Garfield seated at the bar sipping a drink! This is a MUST for Crawford fans. You won't be disappointed.
