It’s good enough when a movie can impress me with an excellent performance delivered from an actor whom I didn’t think had the chops to do so, now multiply that by three and you’ve got The Country Girl. I had only previously seen Bing Crosby in several musicals and comedies. He’s never struck me as an enigmatic screen presence but serviceable none the less. Thus surprise performance #... read more

There was a time when talking meant more to the movies than gargantuan special effects and oppressive sound design, the awkward fantasias that occur in a twelve-year-old boy’s head and what hasn’t been sequelized into a bloated and diminished franchise. That doesn’t mean that every play or novel got a great translation to the big screen, but they usually turned out a little bit better than t... read more

Washed up singer/actor Frank Elgin has a chance to make a come-back when director Bernie Dodd offers him the leading role in his new musical. Frank however is very insecure, turns to alcohol and shuns even the smallest of responsibilities, leaving everything up to his wife Georgie who finds it harder and harder to cope with her husband's lack of spirit. Bernie tries to help Frank regain his self-confidence, believing that it is Georgie who's the cause of his insecurity. Written by Leon Wolters

" The two lead men in this film have to be the most idiotic and egotisical characters in film history lol. This would probably be the film they show in misandry classes. On the other hand, Grace Kelly is great, both playing the tired realiable wife and her usual elegant at the same time. Wish she did more films. "
