Ghost of Patreon Film Reviews Past! I had this in my in box for more than two months, but I knew I'd make it back eventually.
What a film, though, sounds like! There are so many tales that really Do Not benefit from wandering-romance monsters, and this sounds like one. "Wherever the second-act turn toward romantic melodrama came from, it should have stayed there."--THERE ARE MANY SUCH CASES.
Does Soldier make it out alive? I liked this description you gave of him: "he scrambles [the telephones] all off the hook like a flustered cat."
I felt bad for the actress you described as reprising her role "in a needier, more submissive key"--and then I guess anyway she's sidelined as Charlton Heston goes after the dead man's widow? Wow.
Victoria Winant bears the insupportable burden of regenerating a selfish operator through sheer innocent niceness --Yeah, if niceness could cure things, the world would not today be the way it is.
