Movie Reviews of Fire Down Below
Movie Review: A romantic trio in a drama of intrigue among small-time smugglers...
Summary: 3 Stars
Made on location in Trinidad, "Fire Down Below" was Rita Hayworth's return to the screen after a four-year absence...
During her screen absence Joseph L. Mankiewicz's "The Barefoot Contessa," which starred Ava Gardner as a Spanish dancing-girl who becomes first an international film star and then a Contessa, was released with great success... Although Mankiewicz had always denied there were fictional similarities between his film and Hayworth's own private life, most filmgoers and film gossips felt otherwise...
In fact they regarded "The Barefoot Contessa" as an obvious imitation or approximation of Rita's life, just as they had found similarities between her husband Orson Welles' film "Citizen Kane" and the life of newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst...
Therefore "Fire Down Below" had a sort of "built-in" curiosity about it and critics who for years had ignored Rita's acting abilities or were even willing to admit their possibilities, were now beginning to regard her as an actress instead of just a sex symbol...
Considerably older-looking, and playing a woman used and abused by many men, Rita had a few lines that contained cruel accuracies about her own life...
Movie Review: Boring movie !!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a boring movie !A lost oppurtunity of a great pairing between Rita Hayworth and Robert Mitchum !
In the middle of the movie the director Parrish must have lost
his interest in it. After the story begins quite original it
hangs for half an hour in a terribly long scene featuring Lemmon
by himself. Incredible that noone in the cutting rooms saw that this mistaken long scene ruined the film and Rita's comeback in 1957.
Movie Review: Bandido?
Summary: 1 Stars
I was looking for a Mitchum movie called Bandido, which I recall seeing in my youth in the 50's. For some reason, Fire Down Below came up on the amazon search of bandido. It didn't look like the right one, but for 5$, I gave it a shot. What a stinker! The only interesting things were: nice color, alot of big stars (future and past). I now recall someone like Gilbert Roland was in Bandido, with alot of shoot-em-up, appropriate for my 10 years of age sensibility.Movie Review: So bad we couldn't watch the whole movie
Summary: 1 Stars
We tried to watch "Fire Down Below" at a friend's house a few months ago; our friend is a real film buff, as am I, and my partner was looking forward to it too, given the great cast. Unfortunately, it stank to high heaven; the limbo-dance scene in the opening credits was the only thing worth watching. After that, it went downhill quickly, and after an hour of feeling embarrassed for actually watching it, we switched it off.Movie Review: Bad experience
Summary: 1 Stars
Never received item and never received notice that item was not in stock. I had to finally inquire as to what happened, then got the run around with answers to what happened and my refund. Still don't think I ever received my money back. Very unhappy with treatment I the handling of the situation.
