Movie Reviews

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeIt's as close as you're likely to get to a perfect movie.
Nitrate Online - 10/10 by Dan LybargerNot vintage Preston Sturges, but the finale is a scream.
Time Out - 9/10 by Tom MilneNot much liked at the time, but a small masterpiece just the same in its skilful blending of moods, genuinely moving and quite beautifully played by Harrison and Darnell.
Tim Dirks' The Greatest Films - 8/10 by Tim DirksUnfaithfully Yours (1948) is a wonderful, brilliant and stylish comedy by Preston Sturges - it was the last of his Hollywood films.
New Yorker - 8/10 by Pauline KaelOne of the most sophisticated slapstick comedies ever made.
User Review - 10/10 by Rick Q"unfaithfully yours" has a very dark and twisted sense of humor, but it's also really good at bringing slapshtick and screw ball comedy. towards the end, rex harrison's character is quite clumsy, and for a while it made me wonder how much longer is this going to go on? but the longer the clumsiness went, the funnier it became. not sure which film of preston sturges is my favorite. it's either between "the palm beach story", or this one.
User Review - 10/10 by Michael OA masterpiece. The scene where Rex's mad conducting channels his paranoia and passion is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. I can see that the Coens and Kubrick ate this up too. See it for the screenplay and the direction and the acting, or in other words see it because it's a great film, see it because you have to.
User Review - 10/10 by Zayne RRex Harrison sitting on the floor and reading home stereo instructions in an effort to pull off his perfect murder fantasy is one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my entire life.
User Review - 10/10 by Kati SPreston Sturges can be classified as one of the first true auteurs of the Hollywood system. Whereas artists like Howard Hawks and Nicholas Ray were held up by the French New Wave critics as developing and catering to a distinct style, and exploring a similar range of themes, Sturges was one step ahead being one of the few (and first) to both write and direct his films. Even today Sturges at his best is refreshingly modern, and one canâ??t help wondering how he got away with what he did. His comedy was singular, crass and unconventional as he explored through cinema the very nature of comedy. Unfaithfully Yours is one of the darkest comedies of the production code era Hollywood. Only Lubitschâ??s To Be or Not to Be, whichâ??s solemn setting sets a fatalist nature to all events ranks close. However, Unfaithfully Yours does not have the backdrop of war or horrific tragedy, itâ??s founded pure and simple on the jealous ambitions of a husband. Rex Harrison stars as Sir Alfred De Carter, a musical conductor who comes to suspect his wifeâ??s infidelity. Instead of confronting her, while he is orchestrating music we enter his mind (quite literally), only to witness different scenarios in which he does away with his beautiful young wife. Set to the very music he is conducting, the sequences are linked through objects and the apartment, but drastically different in tone and action. Completely unreal, the medium itself is used to aid Sturgesâ?? notion of comedy. Much like The Palm Beach Story, where Sturges shows his confidence as a writer by book-ending the film with an entirely different film, here he stretches the possibility of fantasy, daydream and the construction of art itself as the basis of his writing. The film is as dark as it is funny.
User Review - 10/10 by Michael AI sometimes feel as if I'm alone in my love for this film. I'd take it over The Lady Eve any day, and maybe even Sullivan's Travels. Though I know these are not things one is supposed to say in public. It's an insightful psychological film about male insecurity, jealousy, and hubris that is all sparked by an accident and ends without anyone but the protagonist being aware of the night's drama. It is also a film about the artist's passion and how his art influences his life, and his life his art. All the while it defies studio film expectations and subtly critiques and satires the predictability of standard cinema fare. And as it is written by Preston Sturges, it is also of course full of inimitable wit. I believe this film was not successful upon its release because it asks more of its audience than most American films of the time. We are expected to keep track of multiple tiers of reality, one film-actual and the other according to the flights of the protagonist's fancy, in which his strength and abilities are both far greater than in actuality and the behavior of his wife and secretary are both fundamentally different. (Indeed, Linda Darnell plays roughly four different characters in this film, all exceedingly well.) Furthermore, this is a potentially rather disturbing film, black-as-pitch and perhaps touching on some taboos and uncomfortable impulses that people didn't want to be confronted with. People tend to point out the lengthy slapstick sequence as a fault, but I think it works brilliantly. Rex Harrison is not built for this kind of thing, and that's the whole point: the dichotomy between what his character thinks he's capable of and the utter inanity of his attempts to actually carry out his plans is the lynchpin of the film. Because he is a "great man," a conductor, he thinks he can do anything, but in reality in any other area of life he is a child, who needs his wife dearly. She is the strong, committed, and understanding one, which makes her sympathetic as the unfortunate victim of her husband's impressionability, insecurity, and hostility. Really fascinating and entertaining film, I keep hoping more people see it and feel the same.
