Blanche Fury (1948)
Great watch for Granger fans, and Valerie Hobson is a gem.
This is a hidden gem. It resembled Gone with the Wind, in its production values, with Valerie Hobsons performance a stand out revelation. She was a beautiful and superbly talented actress and I am ashamed to say that I had never seen any of her other performances. She was top notch. Granger was at the top of his delivery too, always putting his best foot forward to inspire the female fans. This is an example of an intelligently made film with charm, wonderful colour and production values and a good strong story line. It satisfies but does not stupefy. The acting is perfect in this melodrama genre piece. Great work and a great watch. Enjoy !
Green Fire (1954)
Better than other reviews indicate
Green Fire is a pretty good watch. Stewart Granger is at his handsome best and he and Kelly certainly present their characters as a couple with spark between them. Paul Douglas is a rock, as usual in his supporting role as the loyal partner to Grangers leading man. I was pleasantly surprised by Kelly's acting in this little film. She was better and less like an inexperienced young actress than I have seen her before. I liked the restrained quality in her performance. Oddly it was the exact opposite to this, in Grangers performance, which appealed to me. He was at the top of his form, physically lithe and handsome and at the top of his form as the stereotypical dashing leading man. He owned the part. I rate this film as at the top of its genre pile! It was enjoyable but not difficult, and full of eye candy for boys and girls. Great fun.
