Movie Reviews of Dodsworth
Movie Review: just wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this film, made my purchase based on reviews, and it turned out even better than I expected. It even had me in tears at one point. This film is worth every cent and I'm glad I have it.
Summary of Dodsworth
A brash american industrialistruns headlong into europes old world ways-and his wifes romantic flings. Studio: Tcfhe/mgm Release Date: 01/25/2005 Starring: David Niven Walter Huston Run time: 101 minutes Rating: Nr Director: William WylerOne of the finest films of the 1930s, this classic Samuel Goldwyn production was based upon the hit Broadway play written by Sidney Howard, which had in turn been adapted from the 1929 novel by Sinclair Lewis. Ahead of its time in dramatizing the disintegration of a marriage, the story centers on the title character (superbly played by Walter Huston, who originated his role onstage), a wealthy automobile manufacturer whose wife (Ruth Chatterton, in her final American film role) desperately craves an aristocratic lifestyle in Europe. Dodsworth indulges her fancies to a degree, but their clashing desires--compounded by her affair with a European baron and his affection for a sympathetic widow (Mary Astor)--create further tension and mutual rancor. Dodsworth was perhaps the first Hollywood drama of the sound era that maturely addressed the complexity of a failing marriage and impending divorce, made especially compelling since Dodsworth is such an admirable and upstanding character who means well and upholds the ideal of marital commitment. Sharply directed by William Wyler, the film is as relevant today as it was when released in 1936. --Jeff Shannon
