shareHigh gloss trash. Loved it โ and hated it. Not many likeable characters. Of the principals I thought Robert Cummings as the oily agent was the best. Along with the hair styles, I found Elmer Bernsteinโs jazzy, 1950s style score more than a little out of place as to era. All this being said it sure looks beautiful: reminiscent of the polished soapers Douglas Sirk did so well in the 1950s. Was the character Carroll Baker played based on Jean Harlow?
You and I think alike, bcstoneb444. This just aired on TCM and I finally got to see it again. I will have to disagree to the best performance because I think Baker gave the best performance with Balsm coming in a close second. Peppard's overly cute delivery and Ashbury's flippant mouth dropping grated on me though. Both over acted, especially together. For years I thought that was Orson Welles narrating. Live and learn.
