Review of Bigger Than Life (1956) by Scott R — 29 Apr 2017
This movie was way ahead of its time. Seems like today rather than the 50's with all of the people hooked on prescription drugs! Almost at the end when his wife is talking to the Dr.'s I felt angry because they were the ones who got him on the drugs.
In the movie he would've died without them but I was relating it to how the Dr.'s are today. So irresponsible. Just read an article of a woman with lupus who was put on a drug for her pain. The Dr.
warned that in "rare" cases people's retinas are effected. Now she's going blind! Mason gives a brilliant performance. Gives a whole new meaning to "Roid Rage".
