Review of Bigger Than Life (1956) by John B — 30 Jan 2013
One of the earliest and powerful discussions on mental illness and how it impacts the typical 50s suburban family. James Mason is wonderful under Nicholas Ray's direction. Kudos as well to a supporting cast that does it's best to keep the family norms together as the patriarch slowly descends into madness.
