Gone to Earth (1950)
Anytime you see a Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger film, you know you’re going to see beautiful cinematography, lush colors, and a bit of fantasy or magic in the story. In Gone to Earth, you get an extra treat in the beauty and wild spirit of Jennifer Jones. It’s funny that she got typecast as a wild child, when she won an Oscar for playing an innocent in The Song of Bernadette. Nevertheless, this movie features another Duel in the Sun type of character: sexy, emotional, irresistible, and almost unhinged. She has wonderfully expressive eyes that can go from sweet to crazed in a second, which is why she does so well with these characters.
If you like Jonesy, don’t miss Gone to Earth. She has a beloved pet fox whom she follows everywhere, and when Foxy accidentally gets chased during a hunt, she gets very upset. One of the English gentlemen, David Farrar, is taken with the free spirit, but her father wants her to marry someone who can really tame her.
At times, this movie can get pretty heavy, so don’t expect a fluffy little barefoot romp in the woods. Jonesy is adorable, as is Foxy, but if you sense the story might take a dramatic turn for the worse, you’re probably right. It’s not a very good date movie, but if you like Jonesy, rent it. I’m her biggest fan, and once when I got adopted by a new cat who started showing up in my yard, I toyed between naming her Jonesy or Foxy before settling on Pearl (for Duel in the Sun). The cat had the last laugh, as he turned out to be a boy!
