Five Novak vehicles expelled during a tallness of her stardom will be presented this evening: Joshua Logan‘s Oscar-nominated Picnic (1955), starring William Holden; Delbert Mann‘s fool around Middle of a Night (1958), with Fredric March; Richard Quine‘s The Notorious Landlady (1962), with Fred Astaire as well as Jack Lemmon; as well as dual destined by George Sidney: a fictionalized biopic Jeanne Eagels (1957), with Jeff Chandler, as well as a low-pitched Pal Joey (1957), with Frank Sinatra as well as Rita Hayworth.
Based on William Inge‘s play, Picnic is value investigation again (and again). we don’t cruise it’s a good movie — Joshua Logan’s citation creates a little of a action/acting as well stylized — yet a underlying psychology, a amicable commentary, James Wong Howe‘s camera work, as well as Rosalind Russell have been all fascinating.
Some sail Middle of a Night a single of a many appropriate Delbert Mann efforts, whilst Pal Joey is a single of Sinatra’s many renouned musicals.
Now, nevertheless we similar to a little of George Sidney’s cinema (Annie Get Your Gun, Show Boat, Scaramouche), we voyage which only about everyone concerned in Pal Joey strives many as well tough to have it “effortless.” The a single deviation is Rita Hayworth, who single-handedly brings abyss (in further to class, wit, as well as sensuality) to Pal Joey‘s tasteless artificiality.
