Review of Dodsworth (1936) by Jo T — 06 Sep 2007
This is the film that Henry James would have made. Midwestern Americans meet Europe...and their lives fall apart but they know themselves better for it. Walter Huston, father of John Huston (and the dying figure who drops the Maltese Falcon into the story of "The Maltese Falcon") is a wonderful personification of a true blue American businessman who takes his wife to Europe after he retires.
He suffers, he grows, he learns...but it ain't easy, that's for sure.
