Interesting for Ida Lupino
16 May 2022
Interesting for Ida Lupino but that's about it. This movie didn't age well. It's intriguing for the social differences in time, but the style of acting didn't age well. When things get emotional, especially toward the end, in the final scene, every actor goes into overdrive with near hysterical overacting. A bowling alley/nightclub hires a new canary who sings more like a man. It's interesting that Ida Lupino sings without really singing much and she pulls it off. Maybe not as much as the movie likes to portray, but it's fun to watch her.
