Movie Reviews of Kings Row
Movie Review: creaky soap opera
Summary: 2 Stars
Maybe Vincent Minnelli could have helped this movie. At least he would have given the movie some style, and energy. The first half of the movie is similar to GREAT EXPECTATIONS, though David Lean's movie is a lot better. The first half drags; the second half is a bit better.
The cast, especially Ronald Reagan, seems even more out of place than James Cagney in THE OKLAHOMA KID. The acting brings to mind the deliberately bad acting for the silent movie scenes in SINGING IN THE RAIN.
And then there's the same bit of music played through out the movie. And the characters give high minded speeches or talk in flowery nonsense, or say "get a hold of yourself, kid" for victorian times.
william cameron menzies worked on this and GONE WITH THE WIND---a couple minutes of exteriors in the first half seem like GONE WITH THE WIND shots.
It's nice that small town, olde time, america is shown as a sham, but it's not enough to make this movie work.
