The Hucksters (1947)
1/10
Just an awful movie
26 August 2013
Gable is one of my most favorite actors. Deborah Kerr one of the most beautiful actresses of the day. And Ava Gardner, at least in this film, showed a lack of talent. Greenstreet and Wynn were greatly miss cast. The movie is phony, the story line is unbelievable. How can such talent be so miss directed and their characters so contrived. On a normal day I watch three or four movies on cable. You might say I am addicted. This picture, well I can't recall one with such poor acting. I would go out of my way to watch Gable, and Kerr, she is the ultimate at her craft, (they teach them real good in England). And Sidney Greenstreet,(Where is Peter Lorre?), his main shtick is to play an evildoer, like in (The Maltese Falcon). Who cares about Wynn, he is just a overbearing loud mouth. But this film is just plain terrible, I wasted two hours of my time watching it plus this rant on IMDb.
