CRITICA EN EL PERIODICO "LA VANGUARDIA" (26-10-1947)

No es la primera vez, y no será la última, que se aborda en una película, el asunto del hombre a quien se da por desaparecido en la guerra y retorna pasados los años.

Barbara Stanwyck, Robert Cummings, Diana Lynn, Peggy Wood, Patric Knowles, Robert Benchley, Natalie Wood, Richard Gaines. Productor: Seton I Miller Director: Irving Pichel -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Barbara Stanwyck filmography, "The Bride Wore Boots" stands as the last comedy in the career of an actress whose comic talent brought us among others "The Mad Miss Manton", "The Lady Eve" and "Ball of Fire". While uneven and competent for most of is duration, it ends being no more than a footnote. It also suffers from a good ten year delay; in 1937 was called "The Awful Truth" and in 1940 "My Favorite Wife" and in both occasions starred Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. So you've guessed - a married couple gets divorced and... you know the rest. The film isn't bad, it's just not good either. Barbara Stanwyck's energy and Robert Cummings' charm manage to keep it afloat most of the time. But even they fail occasionally. She is too clumsy in the scenes where she's ruthless towards her husband, often being too aggressive and exploding quite quickly. Patrick Knowles as the second banana is limited by the script to a caricature. However, the biggest disappoint with the film was Diana Lynn. When I saw the opening credits I was quite excited with her third billing. The know-it-all sister in Wilder's "The Major and the Minor" and in Sturges' "The Miracle of Morgan Creek", it's evident here that she was being groomed by Paramount for something bigger - the second female lead. The problem is that her part failed her and she comes up so unsympathetic and irritating that makes Gail Patrick in "My Favourite Wife" someone you want as your best friend. On the plus side, I quite like the way they showed the children being manipulated by Stanwyck's character to make her ex-husband's life pure hell. The opening sequence is brilliant telling you all you needed to know about all those involved. The whole subplot with the horse is quite well done, albeit a bit saccharine. And best of all, Peggy Wood as Stanwyck's mother, one of those know-it-all characters that dished sarcasm so well (reminding me of Lynn's work in the aforementioned films). All in all, there's no genius in this. It'll make you laugh and occasionally cringe. Oh, and keep an eye for a very young Natalie Wood as the little girl.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I may say so this film is one of the most haunting and lovely romances ever on screen - ghost and all. Once you step back in time into that prim, Victorian world it is hard to turn away.

Allan Dwan was one of the few directors to bridge the gap from silent to sound pictures. His body of work includes silent films like Robin Hood, and decades later the John Wayne film, Sands of Iwo Jima.

Maltin's movie guide gives this TCF production two-and-half stars which means some staff member didn't wake up in time to turn on the TV. Because this is a sparkling little comedy with inventive lines, lively performances, and first-rate direction. (For example, note director John M.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a near farce about a teenager who decides to rehabilitate a criminal by hiring him to work at her father's home. Her father was the judge that sentenced him. I looked at this because Of Natalie Wood. She was only in the film for the last 20 minutes and only for about 10 minutes screen time.

This is the second of two films Bing Crosby partnered with Jane Wyman after their stunning success in Here Comes The Groom. This time Paramount gave them color and Ethel Barrymore and the results are a treat.

Marshall Thompson, Vera Miles, Natalie Wood, Jim Backus, Ann Doran, Keith Larsen. Director: William Beaudine

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vera Miles, who gave memorable performances in PSYCHO and BACK STREET, is very appealing in this simple love story set against the background of the annual Rose Bowl football game. A youthful Natalie Wood plays her kid sister, with the rest of the cast filled out by some rather mature-looking college guys.

Natalie Wood, Perry King, Peter Haskell, Juliet Mills, Vivian Blaine, Shelley Long. Director: Burt Brinckerhoff

Natalie Wood's performance in 'The Cracker Factory' is quite simply, brilliant. The fact she wasn't nominated for an Emmy for this performance is unforgivable. Her character is a nuanced mix of and belligerence and insecurity - with real depth and humour. When she found a part she could really relate to, there was such honesty in her work.
