Review of A Foreign Affair (1948) by Kate C — 10 Apr 2009
Disappointing. From all I had heard about this movie and its' reputation I was expecting to be entertained... I was sadly mistaken. I guess its appeal was a cinematic one. Why am I always disappointed by "film noir" ? .
.. I think its because it can never live up to the expectations... It wasn't a very good romance... it wasn't a very thrilling spy flick... it fell short of drauma... the cinematography was edging towards film noir but didn't quite commit to it.
Perhaps it was because Jean Arthur felt out of place or because John Lund is forgettable... but unfortunately Marlene cannot carry the film entirely on her own.
