Review of Dodsworth (1936) by Ashley H — 18 Jun 2014
This movie has an exciting thrid act that unfortunatly is preceded by two slow boring acts before it. The beginning of the story could have been told in half an hour but it just dragged on. There is a good scene at the end where dodsworth is in an argument with his wife while the crowd around there seems to bustle more and more as there tempers rise.
I also think that the path is wife decides to take is uncharacteristic of women so I found it hard to believe, although I guess if it were him this movie wouldn't be unique. Though you never see exactly what she is up to if you understand what the movie implies its seems like a super aggressive attack against him and there marriage.
So when you watch this film you can half pay attention until the end and you will get the while thing.
