Review of Daisy Kenyon (1947) by Orlok W — 11 Jan 2015

This one may seem quite turgid to a modern audience's sensibilities but, in reality, it is fairly strong stuff, with solid performances by its three leads, Crawford, Fonda and Andrews, under Otto Preminger's brisk direction.

.. A womans' movie where the men are not dopes--Does she go for the strong and cruel one, or the weak and adoring one? Animal instinct always urges the former, on the premise that it is a better breeding prospect for the species that the strong, however cruel, should procreate.

.. A Wonderful, complex and engrossing character study with tremendous performances, writing, music and directing!!
