Heavy, Dialog Driven, and Downbeat Film.
Arthur Miller's Hit Play Won a Pulitzer and Saved the Struggling Scribe.
The Movie Changed some of the More Left-Leaning Aspects and Miller was Not at all Happy.
Edward G. Robinson in a Show-Case Performance and an Early Burt Lancaster Solidifies the Family Focused Film.
With a Strong Melancholic Performance from Mady Christians as the Matriarch.
Unhinged Capitalism is the Culprit that Corrupts Defense Plant Owner Robinson.
Film-Noir with a Missing, Presumed Dead Son by All but Mom is a Haunting Layer that Noir Often Brings to the Ambience.
The Movie Drapes the Proceedings with Fish-Net Shadows and Angles that Announces the Distortion Among the Family.
Dour Dramatic Displays of Guilt, Uncertain Young Love, Tainted Friendships, and Desperate Mysterious Questions that Linger Throughout.
The Film Does Play Like a Play where Most Scenes have the Characters Motionless and Anchored to the Ground.
But it is a Powerhouse Display of some Fine Acting.
It's a Disruption of Post-War Suburbia by Lingering War-Crimes that Don't Always Take Place on the Battlefield.
For Fans of the Actors and Arthur Miller Sensibilities, it's...
Worth a Watch.
