    Barbra Stanwyck is my all time favorite female actress, I watched every movie she has made from "Night Nurse" to the "Big Valley" she was the ultimate vixen bad girl in this movie, but Kirk Douglas this being his first film role he was absolutely phenomenal!!! R.I.P😢 to all these beautiful actors: Barbara Stanwyck, Van Heflin, Lizabeth Scott and Kirk Douglas❤

    I hated the aunt for killing the cat! Judith Andersen is so good at being very mean. And no one makes a nasty lady better than Barbara Stanwyck! She is right behind Bette Davis as my top favorite actress! This is a great review. I've seen Strange Loves many times and now can't wait to watch it again! I didn't know this was Kirk Douglas' first movie role. Also enjoyed all the info about Van Heflin. It is a deliciously convoluted story.

    • @STEVEHAYESTOQ
      @STEVEHAYESTOQ  2 года назад +1

      I know, it really grabs you and takes you along that convoluted highway to that spectacular scene at the end. Barbara ROCKS! But, my favorite performance is Kirk Douglas. He's simply mesmerizing as the alcoholic loser of a husband. Unforgettable.

And I'm still practicinbg Van Heflin's bit with the silver dollar...I now have loose change lying all over the floor. Just like the good old days...nevermind...Happy August! Steve

    Watched this one for the first time last week. Van Heflin really got under my skin in Possessed with Joan Crawford, so I was glad to have a soft spot for him in Martha Ivers. Him and Stanwyck were great together. And lord have mercy, Stanwyck. 1940's Stanwyck is my favorite Stanwyck.
    I had read about Scott's Confidential scandal awhile back, so it was good to see her in action. Overall, it was a great movie about a deadly secret. Great review!

Stanwyck and Heflin were very good together.He was such an underrated actor. But, aside from Stanwyck, Kirk Douglas knock me out in this. he's so weak and malevolent at the same time. One of my favorite of his performances. Thanks for watching and stay SAFE! Best Wishjes and Happy New Year, Daniel.. Steve

      I happen to like that movie alot, however, I'm always disappointed that there wasn't more physical passionate. I got the feeling that they didn't really have that much chemestry. Both are so sexy in this, I was surprised that kind of sexuality wasn't exploered more. I think it suffered from the period it was made.

      @@STEVEHAYESTOQ Thanks for responding! You make a good point; the movie did seem to be holding back, and I agree that it was probably due to the mores of the time. But good golly, Kim Novak was Sex on a Stick back in the day, wasn't she? And Kirk was in his prime when the movie was made, though what he allegedly did to Natalie Wood has colored my opinion of him.

    Fascinating review, Steve! I haven't seen the movie but I know I would enjoy it and I have a hunch your review is even more enjoyable!---We don't see much of the staircase and hallway in the mansion but I think that same set was used later in "Written on the Wind" and "Marnie" and quite a bit later in "The Money Pit".

    I just watched this film tonight and I enjoyed it Barbara Stanwyck is great in this, What a phenomenal actress she was this is my 7th film of her’s I’ve seen (pretty sure) Although the film quality was not as crisp as I would have liked it to be despite the fact that it’s easily accessible on RUclips although I just ended up watching it on Tubi. Is the DVD the best quality version of the movie do you think?

    • @STEVEHAYESTOQ
      @STEVEHAYESTOQ  Месяц назад

      Yes, they re-issued it a few years back on Paramount DVD and it's beautiful. It was in the public domain for so many years and just kept getting copied over and over, so it lost it's clarity. I love this one. Kirk Douglas is marvelous as well.

    Dear Steve I'm commenting on this film simply so that I can say I'm sure you and Johnny were wonderful in "La Cage aux Folles" and I wish I could see a film of that performance. However I found this film - just how black can noir get? - to be a very hard and unsettling one to watch, although indeed worth viewing. I saw it on television a long time ago but have never forgotten it, and thought that if you treat a young girl monstrously she will turn out a monster, which is precisely what happens here. On television you didn't actually see Judith Anderson beating the cat - the visual was cut and you just heard the noises, so she could have been strangling the animal for all the viewer knew, which was even worse. You're absolutely right about Kirk Douglas' readiness to play unsympathetic characters - my God, the character he played in "Ace in the Hole". And as to Lisabeth Scott, in this film she seems to be a girl in continual need of a prescription! Van Heflin was indeed always worth watching, as was Barbara Stanwyck (times ten). My only query is how a girl like Janis Wilson grew up to look like Barbara Stanwyck. It's so unfair. I was such a pretty little blonde girl that when my mother took me anywhere the child molesters formed queues, but I grew too tall, my hair went dishwater colour, and I had to wear glasses. Thank God for developing a figure (after school there was bleach, plus contact lenses) but even so walking home through Soho with a brooch across my school tie that read "Vice Head Girl" was an education in itself. Best wishes, Alida

    • @STEVEHAYESTOQ
      @STEVEHAYESTOQ  Год назад

      You are hilarious! The line about the child molesters made me fall off my chair! I'd be willing to wager you were quite the loker in and out of school. As a teenager, I had such tight curly black hair, I wore an afro that made me look like I'd stuck my tongue in a light socket. As far as Janis Wilson is concerned, she did pretty well for a girl who's looks could stop watches. I always have to laugh as Bette Davis tries to run her hands through Janis's dirty hair while they lie in bed together. It reminds me of the wedding night with Henry the 8th and Anne Of Cleves; " The things I do for Warners!" HA! Steve

    Van Heflin later played the lead on the Hallmark Hall of Fame's production of "Neither Are We Enemies." I remember it as a generation gap story . Heflin plays Joseph of Arimethes an honest judge interpreting Jewish law during the timenof Jesus. His teenage son is a zealot throwing mud at the images of Roman authority. A recording must be around somewhere.

      I ound this film n late night as a teenager and it stayed with me forevere. so dark and brooding and that double suicide/murder scene at the end is such a classic noir climax, All three leads ( Stanwyck, Heflin and Douglas) were at the top of their game.

    Small nitpick about that cane beating scene: It's not convincing at all; Janis whips the cane back really lightly. I'm not sure why Milestone didn't think about doing a retake of the scene or setting it up so the hit the [camera] in first person much more forcefully.
    Otherwise, hoo-boy. The movie is a deliciously dark melodrama. Messed up couple that are perfect for each other.
