Catherine and Alexander, wealthy and sophisticated, drive to Naples to dispose of a deceased uncle's villa. There's a coolness in their relationship and aspects of Naples add to the strain. She remembers a poet who loved her and died in the war; although she didn't love him, the memory underscores romance's absence from her life now. She tours the museums of Naples and Pompeii, immersing herself in the Neapolitan fascination with the dead and noticing how many women are pregnant; he idles on Capri, flirting with women but drawing back from adultery. With her, he's sarcastic; with him, she's critical. They talk of divorce. Will this foreign couple find insight and direction in Italy?

Review :

See Naples and live

Seems long and drawn out until you get to the final moment which is a marvellous thing, then you realise how great a film it was, in hindsight.

Possibly influenced Bunuel - some of the tree lined avenues and the religious saturation of a culture, the slowness of the story, it all reminded me of Bunuel. It's also acknowledged to be an influence on Godard's Contempt and it was interesting to see how it inspired parts of that film - the estranged couple cast against stunning Italian Neapolitan scenery. Must be a great story for it to have been filmed so well twice.

Review :

The BEST 'Titanic' Movie..

The 1997 version was very pretty and had some pretty stunning effects, but this 1953 version had, by far, the best storyline, far better actors and was more engrossing all around. Barbara Stanwyck and Clifton Webb made a fine team and their story added so much to the tragic environment. The excellent acting made up for the dated special effects, though the long shots of the ship going down are quite good, even by today's standards.

Review :

Few laughs in throwaway farce from comedy great Frank Tashlin

Comedy director Frank Tashlin followed up his immensely popular and hilarious Technicolor western spoof, SON OF PALEFACE (1952), with MARRY ME AGAIN, a low-budget, black-and-white, unfunny farce about Bill Anderson (Robert Cummings), a Korean war hero who walks away from his wedding after he learns his bride-to-be has just inherited a million dollars. She had kept the windfall quiet because her fiancé had made a point only a day earlier at his welcome-home ceremony—over the radio no less—of insisting that he was to be the breadwinner for the family and that his wife would stay in the kitchen where she belonged. So we're supposed to feel sympathy for an obvious fool who doesn't recognize a good thing when he's got it. And it's not helped by the casting of Marie Wilson as Doris, the wife-to-be, played by Wilson in full "My Friend Irma" mode, a ditzy blonde character she'd played on the radio and in two movies with Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin (a team that Tashlin would direct to better effect in two films later in the decade). Wilson's Gracie Allen-style clueless act was getting tired by this point.

Granted, women were expected to stay home and raise families back then, but there's a desperate quality to Anderson's initial insecurity, even before learning of the inheritance, about letting his wife work as a secretary earning $75 a week when he will be returning to his gas station job at $65 a week. The ultimate resolution satisfies all parties and amounts to a happy ending, with a touch of then-relevant social conscience related to housing for veterans thrown in, but it never erases our uneasy feeling about Bill and his kneejerk insistence on denying Doris the right to what's hers.

There are attempts to create cartoon-style gags throughout the film, a specialty of Tashlin, a onetime director of some of the best Warner Bros. Looney Tunes. But none of these are particularly funny. E.g. during the hero's ticker tape parade through the San Fernando Valley (a locale conspicuously lacking the necessary multi-story buildings from which to throw ticker tape), Doris gets covered in confetti like a mummy. That's it. There's a fight at a theater during a 3-D movie that could have been developed and milked for more laughs. On the day of the wedding, there's a drunk scene in which the camera is focused entirely in a long take on the feet of two of the main characters as they get drunk at a bar and one of the men loses his shoe and puts his stocking foot into his fallen hat in order to walk out of the bar. That's the level of humor here. (A far cry from Bob Hope's bedroom scene with Trigger in SON OF PALEFACE.)

It's got a lackluster cast headed by future sitcom star Robert Cummings as the war hero/would-be groom and few supporting actors of note. Mary Costa, a pretty performer with some comic talent, plays Doris' best friend Joan, but was more famous as a singer ("Hollywood Palace"). (She was also Mrs. Frank Tashlin.) Her husband, Bill's friend and employer, is played by Ray Walker, who generally played bit parts and did a lot of television. Venerable character player Moroni Olsen appears as the crooked inheritance lawyer and the icily attractive June Vincent plays his partner/mistress, yet they are both underused and their potential threat to Doris' inheritance is never adequately developed. They're the ones who inexplicably alert the media to Doris' inheritance, despite her expressed wish to avoid that, and there's some farcical value in the way the local media (TV, radio, newspapers) broadcast the news widely yet fail to reach Anderson who misses the story all the way to the wedding. It's a situation ripe for laughs, yet it's never fully exploited.

Tashlin did much better work with Bugs Bunny ("The Unruly Hare"); Porky Pig and Daffy Duck ("Porky Pig's Feat"); Dick Powell and Debbie Reynolds (SUSAN SLEPT HERE); Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis (ARTISTS AND MODELS); Jerry Lewis solo (CINDERFELLA, WHO'S MINDING THE STORE?); Bob Hope (SON OF PALEFACE); Tom Ewell and Jayne Mansfield (THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT); and Tony Randall and Jayne Mansfield WILL SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER?). I guess you can't win 'em all.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Review :

Considering it's age, a remarkable western movie.

Considering that this movie is almost 50 years old, it holds up quite well. Bridges, Adler and Cobb give striking performances in a tale set amongst a group of barren rocks in the Southwest. The plot moves slowly, building to an exciting climax. One of the best western movies of the 50s with a great musical score.

Review :

A Few Good Men To Capture A Meteor

This low budget science fiction film from the Middle Fifties is illustrative of just how far we've come in space travel. Now folks like United States Senators like Jake Garn and pop stars like Lance Bass vie for the privilege of space travel. It's proved to be quite a money maker for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

But back in 1954 there was no NASA. The Army, Navy, and Air Force all had rival space programs if you can believe that. It took Sputnik for the Eisenhower administration and Congress to create NASA in 1958.

A group of competent B players bring us Riders to the Stars and the object here is just a quick trip up in space to capture a meteor before it burns up in our atmosphere. One thing is certain, they somehow survive the Van Allen radiation belt that surrounds the Earth, a recent discovery that Riders to the Stars was capitalizing on.

Herbert Marshall heads the scientific team who are looking for a few good men and among those gathered are William Lundigan and Richard Carlson. Martha Hyer is around to be decorative as Marshall's girl Friday and to provide a little romance.

The best part of Riders to the Stars was the intensive physical training that is shown for these astronauts to be. Not unlike what was done in NASA for the original Mercury astronauts. You had to be one peak physical specimen to qualify back in the day. Not that you can have health issues now, but a 60 something US Senator Jake Garn has gone in space and pop star Lance Bass aspires to.

Riders to the Stars is educational, but a bit on the dull side. It really peaks in the last 25 minutes or so with the actual flight. Still it's an earnest film and worth a look.
