Make Haste To Live [1950] [DVD]Dorothy McGuire (actor) Stephen
McNally (actor) Format: all-region dvd (worldwide) Runtime: 90 min Quality: Very Good
Dorothy McGuire fans need no persuading to watch this splendidly titled melodrama, in which McGuire is confronted by a neurotic criminal husband (a glowering Stephen McNally)
who's come back to seek vengeance.
In truth, though, this is a very average programme filler, from that period in McGuire's career when she was past her 1940s peak and before she superbly
re-invented her screen image as an older, wiser woman in such hits as Three Coins in the Fountain, Old Yeller and A Summer Place. Director William A Seiter tries hard, but he's hamstrung by a tight
budget and a short shooting schedule, both of which show. |
