Storm Fear (1955)
4/10
God Awful - Storm Fear
3 April 2020
I like Cornell Wilde, especially in Naked Prey and Beach Red. I also like Elmer Bernstein, who has written some of the best music for film in cinematic history, including The Ten Commandments and many other great scores. I like Lee Grant, who was a talented actress (other than in this turkey). I believe the part where Duryea rips up his manuscript and tosses it into the fire was actually the writer of this mess transposing his thoughts to the screen. At least he should have. The actor? who played the co-robber of the bank was absolutely terrible. There is more ham in this film than in a German deli. The kid and mom were OK, but Duryea was horrendous. Wilde gives it the old college try, but the dialogue is so bad, Olivier couldnt save this film. He was just a bad imitation of Brando. The music was the worst thing of all. I would rather go to the dentist for a day of pain than to listen to this sound track by Bernstein, who normally does a great job. What a mess. This film goes directly to my turkey farm.
