marsha hunt's sweet adversity
28 December 2020
Good documentary that would have been better had its subject been less insistent that it not focus on the blacklist which, with apologies to Ms. Hunt's solid acting career and admirable social activism, is the only sensible reason to learn about her life. When it does deal with those horrible events of the late 40s and early 50s, though, this work is riveting with the anecdote, previously unknown to me, about the debasement of John Huston alone worth the price of admission. As a previous reviewer wrote I will have a harder time watching this first rate director and second rate human being's work from here on out. Give it a B. PS...Glad to know Ms. Hunt's still kicking. Wonder if she and Norman Lloyd ever get together?
