Leave your thoughts about Lonelyhearts.
| New York TimesBosley CrowtherConsistently fine performances by an exceptionally well-balanced cast give further cause for regarding this endeavor with appreciation and respect. |
| User ReviewPrivate UMonty! Dark and depressing, should have been much darker and more depressing. |
| User ReviewGregory Wgreat drama, story,& cast was out when I was born! |
| User ReviewMichael GYou can tell Lonelyhearts was based off a play because the whole time you feel like you're watching a bootleg of a play with better camerawork. Speaking of which, I really liked the way this movie was photographed. Montgomery Clift was way too sensitive, Robert Ryan was too much of an asshole (and I love a good movie asshole) and watching the grossly underused Myrna Loy was almost painful as she portrayed a tired, beaten-down by life character. It's very easy to see why Lonelyhearts is overlooked but that's not to say you shouldn't check it out if you get the chance. I recommend drinking hard liquor while viewing... |
| User ReviewGreg MDore Schary's adaptation of Nathanael West's Miss Lonelyhearts is a cynicism vs. idealism philosophical debate between Sterling Hayden and Montgomery Clift. |
| User ReviewGreg WLonelyhearts and cynical Mr. Shrike--Well-done film!! |
| User ReviewAllan CMontgomery Clift plays a newspaper lonelyhearts advice columnist who gets a bit too caught up in his readers problems in this somewhat corny drama. However, despise it's dated aspects, there is a good cast t who give strong performance, including Robert Ryan as Clift's bully of an editor and Myrna Loy as Ryan's beleaguered wife. John Alton provides some fine photography and Conrad Salinger (who I'd never heard of before) provides a good score. |
| User ReviewScott SLonelyhearts (1958) -- [4.5] -- Montgomery Clift plays an eager journalist who risks losing his girlfriend after his editor nudges him into an affair with another woman. The dreary storyline struggles to rise above its theatrical roots and lead star Clift, whom I normally like, is dreadful in his whiney, wussified role. (He's never been photographed worse, either.) Best thing about the movie is its supporting cast, including a remorseful Myrna Loy, a vindictive Robert Ryan, and an insatiable Maureen Stapleton, who received an Oscar nod for playing the 'other woman.' |
| User ReviewPanayiota KThe handsome and amazing Montgomery Clift explores journalism, values, self-questioning. relationships? |
| User ReviewHarold ASappy and depressing, overly dramatic. Perhaps would be a better play than movie. |
