Movie Reviews of Sudden Fear

Movie Review: 5 star movie, 1 star audio!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I've never seen this movie, but ordered it after reading some feedback from other buyers. It was a great movie, Crawford was awesome in it. However, the audio is horrible. I actually thought something was wrong with the dvd and sent for a replacement disc. Sound quality was the same. It's really disappointing for such a great movie to be on dvd with the sound quality of a homeade vhs copy. And just to make matters worse, this movie is above the normal, current dvd prices - not really sure what we're paying for. The movie 'Rain' from the '30s has a better audio than this film!

Movie Review: Sudden Fear
Summary: 5 Stars

Miller's Oscar-nominated "Sudden Fear" pairs queen of melodrama Crawford with dashing villain Palance, while Grahame sizzles as his greedy, scheming mistress. With its atmospheric lighting and stark cinematography, the film is exemplary of noir-thrillers of the time, but screenwriter Lenore J. Coffee gives the plot an extra twist by having Crawford discover the murder plan via Dictaphone-and then orchestrate her revenge. The resulting game of cat and mouse, which ends with a climactic nighttime chase, is the heart-pounding fun of "Fear."

Movie Review: One of Crawford's best
Summary: 5 Stars

I have always found SUDDEN FEAR to be excellent suspense/melodrama and it is good to finally have this on DVD. My only complaint is the lack of any sort of extras. There is a major amount of documentation about the making of this film and the resultant problems Crawford had with Palance and Grahame on and off the set. Jack Palance, Bruce Bennett, Mike Connors are all alive from the cast members, and a number of crew members are still around. At the very lease a "making of " short film would have been nice to have.


Movie Review: Nail biting film noir!
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is excellent for the film noir genre. It is tension filled from the very start. Jack Palance is superb as the malevolent husband. Filmed in stark black and white (including the costumes of the leading ladies) the air fairly crackles with excitement. As the film builds to its shattering conclusion the audience is left breathless and absolutely riveted to the screen. A must have for any Joan Crawford fan or fan of the film noir genre. An excellent movie.

Movie Review: Joan Crawford + Melodrama = Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is another performance that shows Miss Crawford was truly a STAR! Playing Myra Hudson, a San Francisco socialite and playwright, Crawford gets to show a whole range of emotions that garnered her another well deserved Oscar nomination. Jack Palance and Gloria Grahame co-star and also give outstanding performances. Add Sudden Fear to your collection...you won't be disappointed! This is one you can watch over and over again.
