It's always a lot of fun to see a film adaptation of a play, to compare what was cut and what was kept, to discover what was added to help convey the story to a different audience, and to see how a cinematic background differed from a stage. If you want to see a Tennessee Williams adaptation, check out Boom!, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. If you're interested in Ruth Gordon's drama, check out The Actress, starring Jean Simmons and Spencer Tracy.
As the year comes to a close, is anyone in the mood for a couple of heavy dramas? If so, check out This Earth Is Mine, starring Rock Hudson and Jean Simmons and Wild is the Wind, starring Anthony Quinn.
Enough mystery? Enough laughter? Check out these reviews of a couple of romances: The Black Orchid, starring Anthony Quinn and Affair with a Stranger, starring Jean Simmons.
Sometimes it's also fun to watch some comedies when it's dark and gloomy, too! If you want some laughs, check out my reviews for The Devil's Disciple, starring Kirk Douglas and The Tuttles of Tahiti, starring Charles Laughton.
Sometimes it's fun to watch mysteries when it's cold and gloomy out, isn't it? Check out my reviews for Uncle Silas, starring Jean Simmons and My Forbidden Past, starring Robert Mitchum and Ava Gardner.
