Finding a good movie is no easy task. Finding a great one is even more difficult. But not impossible!
Don't let the name "People will talk" fool you, this is no comedy, at least not totally. This picture was directed by Joe Mankiewicz, a man who's known for his complex characters and distinctive dramatic narrative has never been among my favorite directors but with "People will talk" he made a pleasant surprise.
From the very beginning the movie touches upon so many problems, some of which were very rarely spoken about in the fifties from the big screen, that it just falls on you and makes you think: gossips and rumors, pregnancy, witch hunt and above all suspicion of murder, going along with heartwarming themes of generosity, devotion, love and care for one another blend together in one great movie everyone must watch.
Cary Grant gives one of his best performances balancing between comedy and drama gracefully as ever - you just cannot take your eyes off of him when he's out there! A true master.
