Cute Story and Enjoyable
28 May 2019
Warning: Spoilers
While the movie does have some telegraphed plot lines like the Magazine that reveals the young couple while they are on the lam, and the movie does have a ending that some might not expect but that is still cliché, overall I found this to be a cute movie when I watched it on the Movie Network... And, yes there are unanswered questions like did the old couple get their money, did the old man recover, and where the lead couple went after he is freed, these are for our imaginations to play with and figure out for ourselves.... And, of course, though the movie was made in 1951 and the times are much different in 2019, some of the figures would have to be changed, the premise is still very real...And, I found the acting to be well done and definitely had some humorous lines and even some references to the times the movie was shot in such as the reference to Babe Ruth.....and of course those were times that folks were trying to make it by doing hard labor in the fields so even that feels right and we know that can be hard work.....I have become a fan of Film Noir and think this film is worth seeing especially as the talent is not from the A List but they still do a better job than some of the A-Listers probably would have with this material in my opinion...Check it out and make your own judgement....
