Review of Indiscreet

Indiscreet (1931)
6/10
Film Suffers At Times Due to Silent Film Acting Style
18 February 2004
This is only the second Gloria Swanson movie I've ever seen. The other one was Sunset Boulevard, of course.

I have mixed emotions about Indiscreet. Sometimes it is good, sometimes it is bad. For me, the film suffers because the actors and actresses seem to use silent film acting techniques which come across as ridiculous in a film which in many spots is a sparkling romantic comedy.

I would like to see some of Gloria Swanson's other talking pictures. We get glimpses of Gloria Swanson's talent in Indiscreet.

I rate it 6/10 or 65/100. Maude Eburn was terrific as aunt Kate. Arthur Lake was also amusing.
