Review of Human Desire (1954) by Bernard A — 08 Jun 2009
Gloria Grahame really shines in this interesting noirish flick from director Fritz Lang. She plays the abused wife of a sadistically jealous husband (Broderick Crawford). She goes from a very sympathetic victim to scheming femme fatale as she tries to seduce a train engineer (Glenn Ford) to help her get "rid" of the husband. A good portion of the drama/suspense unfolds during a train trip as director Lang plays with the different shades of love, desire, lust and jealousy.
8/10.
