VHS Movie Reviews of Autumn Leaves
Movie Review: Huge Disappointment!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
This has got to be the worst Joan Crawford movie I have ever seen!! Crawford herself does a decent job with the lousy script, but Clint Robertson and Lorne Greene are pathetic. I just can't emphasize enough how lame the entire story line is. This is not your usual gripping Crawford movie, it's not even remotely entertaining. I wasted my money!!Movie Review: JOAN CRAWFORD IS FABULOUS IN THIS ROLE!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie when I saw it as a child and never forgot Joan Crawford in this fabulous performance. I wanted so much to see it again and did find it in Amazon.com at an incredible price. She shines in this role with great class, elegance, grace, sensitivity, love and strength. So expressive are her lovely eyes and fine figure. She is truly a super star in this role ~ A class act all the way ~ wonderful. You will want to play it again and again ~ sheer brilliance!! Joan Crawford will never be forgotten in the perfection she exhibited in this riveting role.Movie Review: JOAN CRAWFORD IS SENSATIONAL...
Summary: 5 Stars
This unheralded film is a gem. Joan Crawford plays a single, middle aged woman, named Millicent "Millie" Wetherby, who lives a sterile, lonely life. She is self-employed as a typist and works out of her home. The only people she seems to see are her clients and her landlady (Ruth Donnelly). Hers is a solitary existence. One day, she meets a younger man, Burt Hanson (Cliff Robertson), who despite their age difference manages to sweep her off her feet. Despite her concerns about this May/December romance, she falls in love with the irrepressible Burt. After some persuading, she agrees to marry him. Her happiness is palpable.
Once the honeymoon is over, however, her nightmare begins, as she discovers that the man she loves seems to be someone other than the man whom she married. Burt had apparently been married before and had unexpectedly come upon his wife (Vera Miles) and his father (Lorne Green) in a compromising position together. This had the effect of putting Burt into some sort of fugue state. The net result was that it caused Burt to become mentally unbalanced. How Millie handles this and what happens to her and Burt make for as engrossing film.
This is a wonderful, poignant melodrama that sees Ms. Crawford give a sensational performance as the vulnerable, yet strong, Millie, who confronts the demons in Burt's closet and, ultimately, makes them go away. A very young and boyish Cliff Robertson gives a suitably engaging performance as the hapless Burt. Ruth Donnelly is terrific as Millie's landlady. It was especially nice to see Ms. Donnelly in this film, as she had been in a number of Ms. Crawford's early films. Lorne Green and Vera Miles round off the strong supporting cast. The soundtrack is wonderful, as the title song of the movie is sung by musical great, Nat "King" Cole. It truly is a beautiful song and a fitting one for this excellent film.
