Review of Carrie (1952) by Aj V — 03 Sep 2010
Fine version of Dreiser's story considering the period when it was made. Wyler's assured direction is a big plus. Jones' fussy nervous performance is a drawback although she improves towards the end of the film.
She's overpowered however whenever Laurence Olivier is on the screen giving a masterful portrayal of a man slowly disintergrating. Miriam Hopkins is also very fine as a cruel and vindictive wronged wife.
