He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.<br /><br />Yes, this is from Nietzsche's Aphorism 146 from "Beyond Good and Evil". And that's what you find at the start of this movie.<br /><br />If you watch the whole m... | 0neg | He who fights with monsters might himself become a monster: and if you gazingly behold the creatures of another's evil fantasy, the same will come back to haunt you. - Carl Jacobson's note, The Unseen The Unseen is a film that may have you looking over your shoulder and thinking what the heck you saw in it. It starts w... | He who fights with monsters should himself be feared in case he becomes a monster himself. The story is not that clear, neither is the plot, yet the final scenes, the last two minutes, are really worth a look. At a certain point one wonders, whether it would be the good guy who finally survives. An odd film, but in the... |
Honest young insurance agent Ronald Reagan (as Eric Gregg) is optimistic, but poor. His wife, scheming Sheila Bromley (as Nona Gregg), longs for the finer things in life.

Coleman's brother Paul (as Robert Newton) visits him in prison and reveals that he has a confession signed by a local businessman. Coleman must escape prison in ... |
An interesting period picec showing us what was amazing in 1938. Gosh, Ma, a fake accident ring suing for $25,000!!! I guess projected into the 21st century it would amount to a lot of money. The acting would amount to pure 21st century ham. Nice to see the president as a hard-working newcomer. | 0neg | An interesting period picec showing the life in Rome about 1820.<br /><br />The picture is beautifully shot with amazing landscapes and good camera work.<br /><br />The cast is a good one, but not as good as that of Lawrence Olivier in "Nicholas Nickelby", released about the same time and much better. The actors here i... | An interesting period picec showing the life and lot of the Irish tenants before and after the tenants' rights bills were passed.<br /><br />The Irish landholding system involved the Lord 'granting' land to his tenants. The Lord got his lands 'rent' (either in cash or in kind), however, the local lord would often get h... |
This film appears to be an exposé of the current trend towards globalization and homogenization in the wine industry. Wineries around the world are more and more either joining large conglomerates (the American producer, Mondavi, in the case of this film) or paying high-priced experts to help them make "the perfect win... | 0neg | This film appears to be an oddball, but the film's oddness is not the problem. The problem is that the oddball is not particularly funny. It is simply odd. The fact that it is not a drama or an action film that relies on plot development to carry it can make this film fairly compelling at times, as long as the viewers ... | This film appears to be a "documentary" showing the hardships endured by American troops in the South Pacific Theater during World War II. Many of the hardships endured by these men are, in fact, documented and quite horrific. What is not documented is how much effort, care and compassion the men gave to one another, e... |
Did Beavis and Butthead make this movie? It is just that bad. Truly an uneven and unfair portrayal of "bad" vs. "good" in the wine world.

The camera work is dizzying at best while the content may put you t... | 0neg | Did Beavis and Butthead make this or something close? I watched this on television the other night and all I could comment on was the atrocious quality of the picture. Even the commercials at the end of the show were bad.

i do not understand at all why this movie received such good grades from critics - - i've seen tens of documentaries (on TV) about the wine world which were much much better when (if) you watch it, please think of two very annoying aspects of mondovino : first, the filming is just awful and terrible and upsetting : to ... | 0neg | i do not understand at all how somebody liked this movie and how it get this good vote. it is a boring movie, it has a story that anyone could have done. if somebody wants to see it watch it but don't be surprised. is just a movie with nothing special, a great thing in this movie is the actors, specially in the parts w... | i do not understand at all in the last 20 minutes he says that his "duty" is not the responsibility to kill but to protect. and then he goes to another place and shoots an innocent civilian, that may make him a person, that has all sense, but still i did not see the point in this film except that its quite disturbing. ... |
The film is annoying.<br /><br />Technically, there are too many times you see unfocused and very roughly edited scenes. One could easily get a cleaner film using a decent amateur camera and 100$ video editing software. Down to earth, man on the street doesn't mean sloppy editing. Unfocused scenes that don't contain im... | 0neg | The film is annoying.<br /><br />I was never able to identify with these characters. Not even a little bit.<br /><br />The film drags on and on, and it just gets more and more annoying.<br /><br />And this is the part that seems to give this a lot of credibility: it is supposed to take place in 1983. In the film though... | The film is annoying.<br /><br />I like the old westerns but this is boring and slow. <br /><br />I am not a big Clint Eastwood fan, and if I thought he was in this film, I guess I thought less of him. <br /><br />It's not the worst one I have seen but I am sure this is no classic of westerns.<br /><br />Watch it only ... |
The filmmakers try to paint the influence of the Mondovis and Robert Parker as a travesty on par with the German occupation of France and the reign of Fascism. But they never find a victim in this film. We hear wine makers, critics and distributors bemoan that while the wine industry grows it becomes increasingly homog... | 0neg | The filmmakers try to paint this drama about a New Yorker who finds out his wife's cheating on him with just about every other male on his block, as if it were a farce. The film is at the level of a "National Lampoon's Vacation" film, and the result is so obviously phony. The New Yorkers are portrayed as being buffoons... | The filmmakers try to paint the life of a woman in Nazi-occupied France in order to provide a portrait of the moral degradation that comes with it. The whole thing is a huge let-down.<br /><br />The premise has a bit of potential, but the movie fails completely in its effort. The reason: It is not interesting and the c... |
i was looking forward to this, and to be honest there were some bright spots, but it would have worked better if it had concentrated on one story rather than shooting all over the world. The many dogs were a lot of fun but i got bored of the wine fascists pompously whining (;-)) on about their achievements.<br /><br />... | 0neg | i was looking forward to getting home and starting to re-watch this when i popped this in and....oh what a load of cr*p.........i was a great fan of the first series, but this just wasn't the same i was hoping for. i had a couple of hopes. the first hope was that jack, i mean john was not going to die. i couldn't live ... | i was looking forward to this movie, due to the comments i read. it looked really good on paper & on the poster/box. however, i was thoroughly disappointed. the acting was wooden, the acting was flat & lifeless. there were too many subplots that weren't resolved at the end, not that it mattered! the special effects wer... |
I've heard people compare this movie to Sideways. How this comparison was made, I'll never guess because this movie was in no way comparable to Sideways.<br /><br />These 2 films were as different as Star Wars and the Thornbirds. The only thing they had in common at all was they both had wine as a subject.<br /><br />T... | 0neg | I've heard people compare this film to "Star Wars" and even "Darkness Falls". To my mind those are not fair comparisons but here is what we have:<br /><br />* First of all this is a German film and in general those films are far superior because they take a good shot at making decent film when other countries are far t... | I've heard people compare this film to 12 Monkeys a couple of times, and I personally think it is a decent comparison. While not at quite the level of 12 Monkeys in terms of the plot, it is still an interesting film, and the story is definitely one of my favorite ones about time traveling.<br /><br />The storyline and ... |
Was it really necessary to include embarrassing footage of non-participants in a documentary. And why all the silly dog scenes, and then repetition of all the same silly dog scenes? This film starts with a great promise - to expose the international politics and the business of wine.

I remember watching the comic when it came out and the characters scared the snot out of me. My favorite part was when Freddy comes chasing down a car at the end. If you have read and liked the comic book, this movie sucks. If you haven't read the comic ... |
As noted in other comments here, the camera-work is laughably bad. I am tempted to say that the director of photography is a 7-year-old, but that would be mean -- to 7-year-olds.<br /><br />Okay, but what about the subject? I was looking for some insight into the state of the wine industry worldwide, you know, Mondovin... | 0neg | As noted in other comments here, this has been hailed as the best film about the life of Christ. Now, I have not yet seen any of the others, but based on what this one had to offer, I really doubt it!<br /><br />I really think that films that are overlong and have a dull plot should be avoided, and this one is both of ... | As noted in other comments, the movie is not as great as many seem to think it is. It has some memorable moments, especially the ending sequence, and a good story and some good acting. The rest of the story consists of a boring lot of nonsense, nothing to lose sight of the actual story line.<br /><br />There are moment... |
Oh God! It could be a very interesting film and in fact it is. I would have like to give it a 5 but i give a 2 for my vote. Why? I saw it in a theatre! See this film on DVD or on TV!

It could be an enjoyable film and it does have some good moments. Especially the acting is good. But it also has some incredibly stupid moments that are embarrassing for everyone involved. The best thing to do about this movie is turn it off as fast as possible. The film is not really scary it is more silly tha... |
There were so many classic movies that were made where the leading people were out-and- out liars and yet they are made to look good. I never bought into that stuff.

This one gets it right, every line. It shows the reality that men had the tough jobs of shooting, etc., but it also shows the soft side: the love between the man and his beloved and other men coming together when times get hard. Yes, the end does have the "happy ending" of many old ... | There were so many classic comedies from the 30's and 40's, some with no stars, some with one...this movie has only one and it was his first major role.

I think I watched a highly edited version because it wasn't nearly as graphic as I expected - based on the other reviews that I have heard.<br /><br />Other than 1. being written by the same person who wrote the original "Emmanuelle" (1974), Emmanuelle Arsan, 2. the lead character being a sexually free spirit, and 3. b... | 0neg | I think I watched a rerun of this when it first came out. I've been looking for it ever since! I'm hoping I can get a copy of this movie! It's one of the best movies I've ever seen. The story is great and the actors were really good. I would love to have some copies of it. This is definitely one of a kind! | I think I watched a trailer for this film and was intrigued. A lot of the advertising was focused on the comedy aspects of the film, however when I watched it, there was very little. In fact it hardly seemed to be funny at all.<br /><br />There are only two or three really funny parts, which seem kind of dragged out. T... |
This is one of the most awful movies I've ever seen, probably only surpassed by the dreadful and utterly meaningless Blueberry. How can Harald Zwart even have put his name on this crap. I'm feeling every ounce of respect I had for him waning fast.<br /><br />So what is it about this film that makes it so poor? Is it th... | 0neg | This is one of the most unwatchable movies I've ever seen it consists only of flash-backs and a lot of people running around and throwing stuff at each other. I can't even see why they made a sequel or even why people see this movie. I think this movie is an insult to people who do movies. I've heard a lot about it ove... | This is one of the few films I saw where I thought the characters weren't particularly believable or interesting. It is possible to see some aspects of life in Mexico, but only to the extent this film can bring it across, I guess. The plot was pretty boring. I really don't know if it's because the English subtitles los... |
This movie is actually so poor in its desperate attempts at being "feel good" and casual it really made me embarrassed watching it. I can't imagine how the inner circle of Norwegian celebs and press must have felt trying to pretend to like it at the star-packed premiere. Its great media reviews is a sickening example o... | 0neg | This movie is actually so good, it is very hard to find a fault with this movie. Of course, it doesn't quite make as great an achievement as it probably ought to do, and it probably ought to do that great an achievement, but it still stands up well when judged on its own terms. It is a simple, beautifully told story ab... | This movie is actually so bad that it looks like it was filmed on a home camera in one room with 30 people, and a bunch of the actors are actually friends of the filmmaker(though they should have been actors for the talent shown here). The plot is laughable, a bunch of dumb blondes are brainwashed into becoming the bri... |
An odd, willfully skewed biopic of Dyan Thomas in which we hear little more than a dozen lines of his poetry. Instead we have to endure a raw character exposée seen through the prism of his proto-bigamous relationship with wife (Sienna Miller) and childhood love (Keira Knightley). Matthew Rhys plays Thomas with suffici... | 0neg | An odd, willfully skewed biopic of the famous French philosopher's early life. There were a dozen or more times when I laughed out loud; but I was not annoyed. The story is set in the early 60s, and features some of the major characters that Sartre encountered at the time. I thought the characters were more believable ... | An odd, willfully skewed biopic of the notorious American serial killer, Bundy, that may not be entirely convincing, but is well acted and stylishly put together, and that contains, in its later footage, a fairly chilling final performance by the late, great Scott Wilson in a role that he seems to write for himself.<br... |
After I saw this I concluded that it was most likely a chick flick; afterward I found out that Keira's mother wrote the screenplay so that pretty much confirmed it. However, a chick flick can have some appeal to men; this one does not and really seems not to appeal that well either to women (looking at the dismal box o... | 0neg | After I saw this I was so stunned that a film this atrocious could be found being sold in the video shop. This film is the real low point in cinema. There have been some bad ones but never as bad as this. I remember seeing this on the Telly a few years ago and it was absolutely dreadful, I couldn't wait for it to finis... | After I saw this I had a headache. The lighting in this film is horrible. I can think of a movie with lower production values, I think its The Wedding Date. And on the list of worst performances, is Michael Madsen. I can give a good list of people who can act really well, like Mandy Moore, Jason Lee etc. But you know a... |
This movie is so dull I spent half of it on IMDb while it was open in another tab on Netflix trying to find out if anyone thought it was one of the more boring, ponderous, gimmicky films they've ever seen.

So, if you are a true Clee... | This movie is so dull that I wonder if it was meant to be dull. In fact I was wondering if this movie was made with a budget of $50 or $100.

i can't believe how dumb this movie truly is. the storyline (written by keira knightley's mother) is what ruins the movie to the extreme. it is straight out dull, absurd, and makes absolutely no sense whatsoever...<br /><br />this movie lagged so bad for most of it, especially at the beginning. the story just kept goin... | 0neg | i can't believe how dumb this movie is. i was a bit surprised. as soon as i read the synopsis i was thinking it would be a serious film, but it wasn't. instead i was disappointed.<br /><br />the acting isn't all that bad, for low budget stuff, but the plot is simply ridiculous and unoriginal. there is so much better ma... | i can't believe how dumb this film was.<br /><br />it starts of OK but it was very predictable.<br /><br />once you get into it and know what happened half way through you can pretty much tell who the murderer is but not know which of the 3 main women characters.<br /><br />after a certain part it gets weird. i don't k... |
I just got done watching The Edge of Love (by the way, this is one of the worst titles so far this year) and it felt like a chore.

When I first saw this movie at the video st... |
This film is about the complicated friendship, romance and deceit between two men and two women during the World War II.<br /><br />A lot of effort has been put to make "The Edge of Love"look the right period. However, I find this effort too excessive, particularly in terms of the tone of the colours.

This film fails on every count. For a start it is pretentious, striving to be "significant" and failing miserably. The script was banal in the extreme, nobody at any time said anything remotely interesting. It was impossible to care about any of the characters. Knightly was a self-regarding waste of time whilst Sienna ... | 0neg | This film fails on every level. It tries to be as many things at once as possible and doesn't quite make the effort because there's too much going on.

The title in itself should have given it away, as the co... | This film fails on every level. It was written, produced and directed by someone who is a complete failure at everything he tries.

I tried to watch this adaptation, but it was just so awful I couldn't torture myself like that. The performances were quite sub-par, with the exception of Ariel.

The (DVD)movie "The Tempest", directed by Jack Bender, was published in 2001.

I keep waiting for Peter Fonda to start acting. For someone who comes from such a talented family, it's a mystery to me why Peter Fonda can only play Peter Fonda trying to play someone else.

Shakespeare would have been outraged. The writers mutilated Shakespeare's amazing work. Ariel is the only believable acting performance. The African voodoo, secluded swamp, and "Gator Man" character make the movie a mockery of Shakespeare's true Tempest. <br /><br />Don't waste your eye-sight on this movie. | 0neg | Shakespeare would have been outraged. Not only did this show him writing something other than his plays, it showed the Bard doing his own acting.

I suppose I can see why critics give this film two out five stars, it isn't fantastic, but I think it is worth a look, from director Shawn Levy (Cheaper by the Dozen, Night at the Museum).

Not near as well made as the "Guinea Pig" flicks it was inspired by ("Flowers of Flesh and Blood" or "Devil's Experiment") and not conveying any real philosophy, this video feature, which is barely feature length, adds hardcore sex (with mosaic censoring) to its inspiration.

just watched this "film" and it actually made me want to write my first comment on IMDb.com, even though i've been a user for more than 9 years. the reason that i watched this, is because i like splatter films and sometimes i like to test my limits and see what actually still shocks me. first of all, the gore in this f... | 0neg | just watched this "film" and was rather disappointed. the movie starts out OK with a typical 70's sex drug crime thriller with the usual one liners and character stereotypes. the problem is that i couldn't work out why most of the characters were in the film. the so called "star" Anthony Perkins (as "Mr Peretti") has a... | just watched this "film" and i feel like throwing up. i think i watched it just to prove that i can, i guess i succeeded. but that doesn't really matter. i was pretty sure this film was a waste of time before i even rented it but i watched it anyway. and now i have proof that i can sit through two hours of pointless dr... |
i came across this film on the net by fluke and i was horrified by its content of vivid abuse violence and torture scenes. it was a relief to know it was not real after reading the comments. what dangerously sick animals of a person make something like this and for what purpose goes beyond belief. i was even more shock... | 0neg | i came across this film on late night TV recently, and being a fan of old school filmaking and of films set in Scotland, I caught a copy of this one after watching the trailer. now, I love a good ghost story, especially if it has a good atmosphere behind it to make you jump. and I LOVED this one, it has two main ghosts... | i came across this film, at the time, in the late 1970s on the late night movie channel. the film was great, and i must have watched it many many times over the next decade. the ending, with the cat going to the kitchen to prepare dinner while the killer is up from the basement and walking around the house was a real g... |
I usually enjoy watching Laurel and Hardy, but this is obviously one of the films they made while they were on their way to becoming a successful comedy team.<br /><br />The plot is all too simple, and is mainly based on one joke; how strange kilts and Scotsmen are. And that's all. Okay, there are some other jokes, but... | 0neg | I usually enjoy watching Laurel and Hardy shorts and this one is no exception. However, it is a bit long and the story could have been compressed to maybe 10 to 15 minutes.

Exceptionally silly actioner with braindead leads in a story which would have suited a fill-in issue of Spiderman.

Sam Lee over... | 0neg | Exceptionally silly actioner with braindead heroine (Eliza Bennett) on the prowl for a killer, aided and abetted by three lame guys.

The bad news ... | Exceptionally silly actioner with braindead lead and an idiotic screenplay to match. Director James Glickenhaus is so obviously in way over his head that it's even more of a mystery how these actors can take themselves seriously! |

Her bit-part as a masseuse, in the lurid sequel to the original 'Emmannuelle', evidently gave someone the bright idea of putting a spanner in the works of the French soft-core series' gambit by inverting the Caucasian carnality and casting Javan stunner Gemser in a leading role in this, the rather tame first of a serie... | 0neg | Her bit-part as a masseuse, and then again later as a prostitute, were quite charming.<br /><br />It's a shame she didn't use her face on-camera more often.

The success of the original French "Emmanuelle" series (I've only watched the first, which wasn't too bad considering) led to a spate of imitations; the Italian counterpart, which even changed the race of its heroine, was clearly less polished and more exploitative - descending more and more into vulgarity as the serie... | 0neg | The success of the original series was no assurance that a film would be as successful, and in fact, the "movie-of-the-week" era of TV was full of films to fail to live up to standards set by the TV series. For example, "Mission:Impossible-Movie" was a rather lackluster, if not a complete flop, much like other series t... | The success of the original film is a direct result of the fact that it is a good film, in spite of its somewhat limited budget.

When I was young, I'd get up early every Saturday morning not to watch cartoons but to turn on the local channel for what was called 'Kung Fu Theatre.' It wasn't as if these films were works of art.

this is one of the more poorly made movies I've ever seen. One has to take anything by Truffaut seriously; it's not just some B-movie cranked out by hacks.<br /><br />evidently Truffaut couldn't decide whether he was making a noir or a sentimental chick flick. and neither could Deneuve, whose dozen (?) character flip-f... | 0neg | this is one of the best movies of the 20th century, especially because of some of the unique and beautiful cinematography, and the fact that it's a silent movie in which one character's personality is based on his own disability, not some random event.

I'm trying to find something of value here. The best I can muster is that Truffaut wanted to make a movie as tedious, painful, puerile, annoying, illogical, and brainless as the experience of being in love. If that was his goal, then he succeeded, but the solution to his exercise is really a drag to watch.<br /><br />T... | 0neg | I'm trying to find something good to say here about this film...but i can tell you that a major problem is the fact that it feels like i'm watching a movie.

The first 1/3 of this movie I loved and thought it was going to be one of Truffaut's best films. I loved the plot where a pen pal marries a man from half way around the world--sight unseen. Especially when this woman turns out to be a fraud and was responsible for the death of the REAL pen pal so she could take her pla... | 0neg | The first 1/3 of this movie is actually funny, but then it falls into a total abyss.

Unfortunately, they managed to screw it ... | The first 1/3 of this movie is funny. You will be laughing out loud. The middle is not as funny, but still good.

François Traffaut's "Mississippi Siren" had an unconvincing plot. The screenplay required too much elasticity in suspension of disbelief. The plot went at a glacial pace. It started off in an interesting setting but soon drifted onto the shoals of melodrama that lacked logic or intelligence. What were the critics think... | 0neg | François Traffaut's "Mississippi Siren" had little screen time for John Wayne although Wayne's character - Ben "The Kid," a tough man with heart of gold - did most of the action.

Nevertheless, all three cast members involved in this... | François Traffaut's "Mississippi Siren" had the temerity to be released at the same time as Michael Winner's "Death Line", also about an escaped convict. But Winner's release was timed to capture the audience at theaters before you could say "the death penalty". Trafficaut was probably more concerned to avoid appearing... |
These days, writers, directors and producers are relying more and more on the "surprise" ending.

Let me first start out by saying 1 out of 10 is too good for this movie. It's unfortunate that IMDb doesn't have tenths of a star... I watched this abortion of a movie in the middle of the night due to insomnia, and it was absolute garbage. The plot was horrible. The acting was horrible. The movie was utterly boring.

From watching the trailer, the movie looked pretty interesting. The production of the movie is also pretty good--it looks like they had a good budget and doesn't look like a cheaply made movie.

The opening of "The Jungle" promises us a safari adventure with a science fiction element, but mostly what we get is a travelogue with lots of stock footage and padding (and the odd leopard attack).

What do you do with all the material that does not make the final edit of a film? You might keep it aside in case a director's cut or extended version is released one day.

This one kind of is like an earlier movie from 1987 "Masters of the Universe" based on the cartoon "He-man".

This is the greatest example I can think of to prove the theory that when Hollywood runs out of good ideas, they make an awful sequel and ruin the first one.

As other reviewers have noted, this movie is a cross between (i.e. stolen from) stories we have seen before. Specifically, this looks like Clint Eastwood in High Plains Drifter inserted into Mad Max. Remove Clint's cigar, and replace with a cigarette; remove his horse and give him a high-tech motorcycle, and voilà, an ... | 0neg | As other reviewers have noted, this isn't a very good film. The 20-some year-old character played by Kari Wuhrer looked to be in her 40s... and I noticed that the only other actor who looked this young was the son of the woman who played his mother. Kari looks her age (and, indeed, is only 20 in this film). <br /><br /... | As other reviewers have noted, the film is just a big wobbly mess and in need of serious editing. However, I have never commented on how much I actually liked the original 1965 Batman film--and I can almost quote all the great lines of dialogue and scenes in my head. For me, it's a bit like the 60's Batman show--it's n... |
If you take the films, Mad Max, Beyond Thunderdome, and the movie Steel Dawn with Patrick Swayze, you will have a pretty good idea what the film is about. The only problems is, that the film lacks the production values of either, and represent mainly cheap copy of the former two. True, the film has plenty of action, bu... | 0neg | If you take the films, which you will see by that time, and the music you heard from the beginning, and you just put them together, that would be The Beach. The plot, such as it is, is about a man named Jack Nicholson (I'm assuming that was his character's name), who is involved in a car bomb that explodes. And it just... | If you take the films, which most people consider the best of Kurosawa, out of the picture, this 1951 film is the best of the rest. A wonderful story about the Japanese peasant class at the start of Meiji, the film is a masterpiece, in my opinion. |
I know that Trey Parker and Matt Stone really hate celebrities and spoof them in every single episode of South Park (if not showing them, then mentioning them) and they love to mock and joke and make fun of themselves too, but I felt this mockumentary went too far.<br /><br />For one thing, the most common running them... | 0neg | I know that Trey Parker and Matt Stone are well known for being the most notorious comedians in the United States of America as well as around the world since they never let up when it comes to making fun of everything from our politicians to our celebrities and even those who are just lucky to be in the right place at... | I know that Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park, are huge fans of Mystery Men.

Some spoilers**** A Soap has some wonderful moments to recommend it. When Charlotte and Veronica get close to intimacy is a beautiful, low key, truly erotic scene.

I say "flick" because this doesn't deserve the appellation "movie", and certainly not "film".

First of all, let me start by saying that I have been a devoted follower of C Thomas Howell's career ever since "The Outsiders" and "The Hitcher". He was an up and coming star in the 1980s - with hits such as "Soul Man" also. The future was bright for this young actor and he had the potential to go on from there and re... | 0neg | First of all, let me say I agree with the other comments.

The Man with the Golden Arm (the movie) is a decent career vehicle for Frank Sinatra, but fails abysmally as a good adaptation of a fantastic book.

I just watched this movie on Bravo! and it was absolutely horrible. It has the plot of a Shannon Tweed movie without the nudity.

Clifton Webb is one of my favorites. However, Mister Scoutmaster is not one of his best. His patented curmudgeon role seems forced and even unpleasant rather than funny.

You'd hardly know that a year later MGM put Norma Shearer in THE DIVORCEE which glows with MGM technical know how. How far they came in one year. CHENEY is a very stagey early talkie.

I found this early talkie difficult to watch and I'm a Norma Shearer fan! It's not her fault, but the primitive production values of this film would cause any viewer to become bored. 90% of the movie is filmed with "medium shots," and it's very similar to watching a dull play. | 0neg | I found this early talkie to be well directed and with good performances.

I could see why it had some controversy when released and still is since then. If you see a copy to buy it, by all means, buy it. It is well worth it. It is as good as any talking film of that year. The scenes between the lovers is so intimate and the dialogue so genuine and ... |
This version is very painful to watch. All of the acting is very stilted but especially that of Norma Shearer who is still acting as though she were in a silent movie instead of a talkie. Check out the 1937 version with Joan Crawford, Robert Montgomery and William Powell which is much more entertaining. | 0neg | This version is very painful to sit through and is certainly not better than the first one.
