Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 9/10 by John BeifussDemonstrates that Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer could be as down and dirty as Warner Bros. when necessary...
User Review - 10/10 by Tom BWe finally finished this, after starting it a few nights ago. We loved it. Sometimes the joy of the pre-codes is the warmth and intelligence on display in all aspects of the stories. Yes, it's fun to see people in the thirties half-nude, or gay-lesbian acceptance. None of that is on display in Midnight Mary, but there are other things equally if not more vital, notably an acceptance of a higher moral code than the one imposed in the mid-thirties by the moral majority, that being the morality based on individual human happiness. To see a man and woman triumph in the way our heroes do in Midnight Mary should prove a great relief in our jaded modern age. In truth, the film makes us look like prudes baffled by politically correct prisons of conformity by comparison. Bringing luminosity to the film is Loretta Young, whose acting chops were pretty damn good, and a real looker besides. Opposite her stands Ricardo Cortez, truly despicable, yet sensually human, last seen playing a delicious Sam Spade in an early Maltese Falcon opposite beautiful Bebe Daniels (nekked in a tub, no less). The real joy of Midnight Mary is Wellman's attention to the romance between luscious Loretta and a dashing Franchot Tone. Their sensual openness - tender, human, and erotically charged, reminded me of Grant and Bergman's notoriously sexy kissing scene in Hitchcock's Notorious. Refreshing to say the least. I love Midnight Mary. It's the kind of film that makes no bones about being true to the spirit of being human in a world full of challenges, and openly warm. It breathes even after nearly eighty years, and still speaks generously about what it means to be.
User Review - 10/10 by Katie RMidnight Mary is one of the fines films pre-code has to offer. It could have turned out unbearably melodramatic, but it was luckily directed by Wild Bill Wellman. It's one of the tawdriest and sexiest movies of the early 1930s. Loretta Young's performance is really incredible.
User Review - 8/10 by Aj VWell directed, if slightly overwrought, gangster melodrama from Wellman. As with his other 30s films, the direction is inventive and the visuals are engaging. The ending is a bit silly though.
User Review - 8/10 by Russell GMidnight Mary (1933) William Wellman directed this pre-Hayes code movie starring 20 year old Loretta Young as Mary Martin who is on trial for murder. Mary's impoverished life story is told in flashback. Her bad luck seems to go down even more when she gets involved with a gangster, Leo Darcy (Ricardo Cortez). Loretta Young as a gangster's mall has got to be seen to be believe. She's not necessarily a bad girl, but has had some bad luck and made some wrong choices in life. While she's helping Leo's gang rob a casino, she is met by Tom Mannering Jr. (Franchot Tone), who always plays the handsome rich playboy. This time he falls madly in love with Mary. Tom tries to turn Mary's life around, getting her some secretarial training and gives her a job in his Father's business. But her past comes back to haunt her. Yes, it's overly melodramatic, and it really is pretty tame for now days, but it's still a good movie to watch and it shows Loretta Young when she wasn't playing her typecast goody-goody parts that she has become so famous for. There's a long, tantalizing scene where Mary whispers into Leo's ear trying to persuade him to stay home with her instead of him going out to kill Tom. This movie has been released on DVD and the film and sound quality is fantastic.
User Review - 6/10 by James H69/100. Good pre-code crime drama. Loretta Young is surprisingly effective and gives a freshness to the movie. It's a rather ordinary story, but it's well handled. The gowns and clothes by Adrian are magnificent. Fine photography and the art direction is very good.
User Review - 6/10 by jay nLurid pre code drama, a bit on the absurd side but it does move quickly and Loretta Young is incredibly beautiful, she seems to glow in almost every scene,
User Review - 6/10 by Greg Wanother weepie from MGM borrowing loretta young from WB.
User Review - 6/10 by Daniel K3: The loose women, presumed prostitution, and recreational sex make it obvious it's pre-code. Loretta Young is ravishing as always, but perhaps more so here than is usual simply because she is so young. There is also an open discussion of basic instances and nature, such as sex, followed by a discussion of their plans for the rest of the evening. Solid film and a winning title to boot. A winner in my book.
