@@DonaldPBorchersOG A great bio on the fabulous Shelley Winters at your link with a few of her films. 'Larceny' is a good one. Great career and if Shelley is in the film, it will always be worthwhile. Thank you for sharing your collection. -Always watching the Classics. /Laura 🩷✨
To use a word that is absolutely, positively NEVER used today, Shelley Winters in her early career often played blowsy women. Or, to use another rare word, chippies. If George Stevens hadn't seen another side of her and cast her as Montgomery Clift's ill-fated, plain Jane girlfriend in A Place in the Sun, Shelley might have eventually become Hugo Haas's actress of choice once the Cleo Moore connection dried up. And Dan Duryea was best known for playing sleazy little dirtbags (to use a term that's STILL in use). Too bad these distinctive actors are more or less peripheral here and that most of the screen time in this tale of fraud and blackmail is taken up by John Payne and Joan Caulfield; they're not bad per se, but when did you ever hear anyone say, "Quick, honey, grab your coat! The newest Joan Caulfield movie is in town!" The misplaced actor focus transforms a perfectly serviceable film noir premise into something lesser; call it film gris. 6/10.
George Stevens didn't believe she could be believable in that part at first, but she convinced him to meet her to talk about it, in a hotel lobby. She was the height of glamour at the time, but she really wanted the part. She got herself all frumped up and drab, no makeup, and sat in the lobby, watching Stevens look for her, until finally he found her slouched there. She had changed his mind!
