Review of The Marrying Kind (1952) by James H — 16 Jan 2007
This is a gem of a film. It is a comedy/tragedy, but in such a way as to be able to flow easily from the two formats. Thus the viewer is never fully laughing or crying throughout the film, but at different moments.
It works. The film is told in flashback, and each of the remembrances are told in short vignettes. Judy Holliday is wonderful in her role, and much underrated Aldo Ray is also brilliant, they are a perfect match.
The acting by both the leads is terrific and believable, and there is some wonderful location photography of early 1950s New York. A great film worth seeking out.
