Doonby
I believe the right wing agenda is up to their old tricks again. this is one of the worst movie ever. acting, plot, everything was at its worst. i did not realize the subject matter was about abortions until the end. it was as if the makers wanted to hide this fact from viewers in order to trick them into seeing it. it was preachy,lousy acting, dialog and judgmental. I don't mind a movie with a message but this one was just not well done. some of the theater goers looked as zombie like as some of the actors in the movie. I really have a hard time understanding how this movie gets more than 1 star. the ending's message seemed incoherent to me.
This Is My Love (1954)
I loved this movie!
I have always been a Linda Darnell fan and this movie is her at her finest acting ability.I enjoyed this movie from beginning to end. It's a storyline that delves into the subject matter of heartbreak,infidelity, disappointment, and abuse. How many people are at a loss when dealing with life's complexities? It makes one think about about one's own shortcomings and vulnerabilities. I felt for her through out the movie considering everything she had gone through. It's been about 50 yrs. since I've seen it. Maybe I would see her role in a different light now.Great acting especially by Linda Darnell. At this point in her career it seems her movies ended. It was such a shame because she seemed to finally be cast in a role that could prove her ability. She was very talented and beautiful.It's too bad she was never appreciated for the great actress she was. I'm also a Dan Duryea fan and this role was made for him. His reputation for playing mean,angry,abusive men casts him in a role he sinks his teeth into. He is a very convincing actor who makes the plot come together. It was the first time I saw the actor Rick Jason and what a head turner. Also irresistible sex appeal. He was perfect in the role as a charming and handsome womanizer. The setting takes place in old Cali. The old diner gives you a sense of the Calif of back in the day. The romantic beach scenes also take one back to Calif before all the development. The channel on TV that shows old classics has a place on internet to vote for films, fans would like to see come out again. If you're interested go and vote for this one.
