Nora Prentiss (1947)
7/10
Shocking
5 June 2006
I caught this movie on TV the other night and was mesmerized. A man is so taken with a girl that he fakes his own death, gives up a lucrative career and forsakes his children. Didn't he ever think of divorce? Ann Sheridan gives a memorable performance and ends up happy with yet another man that always loved her. She seems never to be without a suitor. A pitiful end for the good doctor, yet one cannot help thinking he was kind of stupid to do what he did. Then again, being in an unhappy marriage makes anyone act irrationally at times. I enjoyed this period piece. Kent Smith as the doctor is all right, not the best actor, but the picture is called Nora Prentiss. I enjoyed it. See it for yourself next time it is on television. I wouldn't mind watching it again.
