Critical MeMe

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

Joan of Arc (1948)

An in-her-early-30s Ingrid Bergman plays the teenage Joan of Arc...and the rest of the movie was thought out just about as thoroughly. The weapons are clearly spray-painted cardboard, everyone is slathered in pancake make-up and I've seen more convincing battle scenes in elementary school plays.

This was just a long slog through crap. I'm not giving it an "F" because the subject can't help but be fascinating despite being butchered.
