Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe performances are stagy but filled with fiery emotion.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 7/10 by Emanuel LevyLang's quintessential film noir offers Barbara Stanwyck a role that fits her like a silk glove
Classic Film and Television - 6/10 by Michael E. GrostInteresting romantic drama, with vivid location filming in Monterey's fishing community.
Radio Times - 6/10 by Tony SlomanWhat is surprising is that this inexpensive RKO melodrama is from once revered émigré director Fritz Lang, who fails to disguise the inherent dullness of the original material or to mask the obvious studio backdrops and poor matching front projection.

User Review - 10/10 by Tim CA bittersweet drama from 1952 that is the first to bring up underlying issues of marriage, gender roles, and individual fulfillment in context of such. Barbara Stanwyck plays a woman who returns from a disappointing city life to a fishing village and marries a simple fisherman, but is wooed by his best friend, played by Robert Ryan who is equally looking for happiness in all the wrong (?) places. There is a strong, intelligent supporting performance by Marilyn Monroe in this film noir directed by Fritz Lang.
User Review - 10/10 by I nAn unexpected Film noir gem consisting of a good story, excellent direction, and a fine ensemble of actors.
