| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA fairly entertaining romantic crime thriller even if not a gem. |
| User ReviewAllan CTerrific comedy with Spencer Tracey and the always fabulous Myrna Loy. They make a great pair, for a couple of actors who were half of their own respected screen pairs (Hepburn/Tracey and Powell/Loy). Not an all-time classic, but highly entertaining for classic film buffs. |
| User ReviewDan SSplendid, but Powell would have been better. Tracy drags it down. |
| User ReviewMichael GWhipsaw is a movie that isn't bad, but when watching it I got the feeling that it missed its calling as a screwball comedy. I wouldn't compare it to a Rhodes scholar flipping burgers but maybe more like a pro-wrestler working as a gym teacher. Myrna Loy and Spencer Tracy for the most part have the chemistry necessary to pull Whipsaw off. She's cute and Tracy has a few funny moments. Again, Whipsaw isn't a bad movie but definitely a misplaced one. But when you're done watching it you'll realize why you don't hear the title Whipsaw associated with either of these actors. |
