Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Razor's Edge (1946)

After the war, Larry just doesn't care about society life any more. After the movie, I just don't care about Larry any more. Oh, Larry's an admirably hopeful character who refuses to fall back into the patterns that the rest of the world has set forth, but it's just not all that interesting.

Gene Tierney (as his ex-fiancé) is an embarrassment -- it's as though an acting coach is just off-camera shouting "More imperious, Gene!" "You're not screeching enough, Gene!" "You call THAT distressed, Gene?" She's just way too everything.
