Quote:
A wealthy harridan, Violet Venable, attempts to bribe Dr. Cukrowicz, a young psycho-surgeon from a New Orleans mental hospital that is desperately in need of funds, into lobotomizing her niece, Catherine Holly. Violet wants the operation performed in order to prevent Catherine from defiling the memory of her son, the poet Sebastian. Catherine has been babbling obscenely about Sebastian’s mysterious death that she witnessed while on holiday together in Spain the previous summer.

The post Raoul Lévy – The Defector AKA L’espion (1966) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis:
This pseudo-biographical movie depicts 5 years from 1885 on in the life of the Viennan psychologist Freud (1856-1939). At this time, most of his colleagues refuse to cure hysteric patients, because they believe they’re just simulating to gain attention. But Freud learns to use hypnosis to find out the reasons for the psychosis. His main patient is a young woman who refuses to drink water and is plagued by always the same nightmare.

The post John Huston – Freud (1962) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis:
The final film of stars Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe is an elegy for the death of the Old West from writer Arthur Miller and director John Huston. Gable stars as Gay Langland, an aging hand traveling the byways and working at rodeos with his two comrades, Guido (Eli Wallach) and young Perce Howland (Montgomery Clift). The three men come up with a plan to corral some misfit mustangs and sell them for dog food, but Gay’s new girlfriend Roslyn Taber (Marilyn Monroe), a high-minded ex-stripper who has just divorced her husband Ray (Kevin McCarthy) in Reno, is appalled by the plan. Although both Guido and Perce are also in love with Roslyn, she stands by Gay, sure that in the end he will do the right thing, even as he and his pals begin their planned roundup.

The post John Huston – The Misfits (1961) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

The Heiress is set in the late 1840s, largely in the opulent New York townhouse of Dr Austin Sloper (Ralph Richardson in his first Hollywood performance). Sloper idolises his dead wife and cruelly dismisses his doting daughter Catherine (Olivia de Havilland) as inferior in every respect: she’s awkward, plain and shy in company. In consequence, he encourages his widowed sister Lavinia Penniman (Miriam Hopkins), who has recently joined the household, to coach Catherine in the social graces.

At a family engagement party Catherine meets the dashing but penniless Morris Townsend (a young Montgomery Clift in only his third film). Morris starts to pay court to Catherine and soon declares his love for her. Catherine, supported by her romantically-inclined aunt, feels she’s found the man of her dreams, and the pair make plans to marry. But Dr Sloper is suspicious of Morris’s whirlwind proposal. He thinks the young man is after his daughter’s inheritance and refuses his consent…

James Kendrick on Qnetwork wrote:
William Wyler’s The Heiress is an exemplar of ambiguous storytelling – perhaps one of the greatest in all of classical Hollywood cinema…Even though it is set in the genteel 19th-century world of wealth and privilege, it is a film fraught with the violence of animosity, disappointment, and manipulation, with characters constantly pitted against each other in a struggle for control. The film works so well because those surging emotional currents, although often pushed just below the surface, give it a constant tension that draws you in like a thriller. Catherine is one of the great screen characters of that era, a compelling woman whose loneliness makes her sympathetic and later vindictiveness makes her tragic. The Heiress is, if anything, a film about a victim who finally decides to be a victim no longer, although its most powerful twist is ensuring that we never know for sure what the cost of that transformation has been.

The post William Wyler – The Heiress (1949) (HD) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis: Based on the turn-of-the-century play Our Two Consciences by Paul Anthelme, Hitchcock’s I Confess is set in Quebec. Montgomery Clift plays a priest who hears the confession of church sexton O.E. Hasse. “I…killed…a man” whispers Hasse in tight closeup–and, bound by the laws of the Confessional, Clift is unable to turn Hasse over to the police. But police-inspector Karl Malden has a pretty good idea who the guilty party is: all evidence points to Clift. It seems that the dead man had been blackmailing Anne Baxter, who was once in a factually innocent, but seemingly exploitable compromising position with Clift. Tried for murder, Clift is released due to lack of evidence, but he is ruined in the eyes of the community. Then it is Hasse’s turn to make that One Fatal Error. I Confess is frequently dismissed as a lesser Hitchcock, due mainly to the quirky performance of Montgomery Clift (who, it is said, steadfastly refused to take direction). Today, four decades removed from its on-set intrigues, the film has taken its place as one of the best of Hitchcock’s “between the classics” efforts. — Hal Erickson

Review: A middling effort from Hitchcock, apparently attempting to adapt to the faux-documentary style then fashionable for crime stories, it features an interesting, turn by Clift. The film literalizes the symbolism of Catholic clergy as the representatives of Christ, with Clift’s priest taking on the guilt for a murder due to the sanctity of the confessional. It’s difficult to understand why the director chose to shoot such a musty contrivance of a play with the trappings of naturalism. Although, in The Wrong Man (1957), he was somewhat more effective with this style, his lack of interest in the normal range of human behavior hampered these films. Clift, who often chose to play characters seeking martyrdom, is well cast here, and provides what interest the film has in an underwritten part. It might have been better if the director had considered emphasizing the visual record of Clift’s response to his public torment a la La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc (1928). — Michael Costello
