| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThis depressing and moody melodrama marks the directorial and screenwriting debut for playwright Clifford Odets. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyClifford Odets' sentimental family melodrama is mostly known today for earning Cary Grant, who's cast against type, competitive Oscar nomination. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. Puccio...quite a change of pace for romantic leading man Cary Grant. |
| User ReviewChristina MI love Cary Grant in this movie ALMOST as much as I love him in Holiday, if youre ever watching TCM and its on YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT! |
| User Reviewtonya hThis movie is great. Grant really lets his melancholy side shine. His acting is superb and carries the movie. |
| User ReviewJosie RNone but the Lonely Heart is an amazing film. It is about an itinerant who reluctantly returns home to help his sickly mother run her shop. Cary Grant and Ethel Barrymore give excellent performances. The screenplay is well written. Clifford Odets did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and romance. None but the Lonely Heart is a must see. |
| User ReviewRenee -~~~CARY GRANT~~~ ~~THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW!!~~~ |
| User ReviewJustin SIt's one of the only films that you don't like Cary in - he's that good at being bad. |
| User ReviewJames RI guess I'll have to give the only good review of this movie then. This is possibly Grant's finest performance of his career in a drama. Although I still enjoy his performance in Only Angels have wings better. This is also one of the most depressing movies I have ever seen. Its about 2% happy and 100% depressing, so you do the math. Its a great and sad story with great lighting effects and a pretty good score. |
| User ReviewOrlok WA solid, engaging drama with amazing performances from the whole cast. I dare say one of Grant's greatest performances--Thought-provoking, Unpredictable Symbolic Drama!! |
