Review of Lonelyhearts (1959) by Scott S — 06 Feb 2011
Lonelyhearts (1958) -- [4.5] -- Montgomery Clift plays an eager journalist who risks losing his girlfriend after his editor nudges him into an affair with another woman. The dreary storyline struggles to rise above its theatrical roots and lead star Clift, whom I normally like, is dreadful in his whiney, wussified role.
(He's never been photographed worse, either.) Best thing about the movie is its supporting cast, including a remorseful Myrna Loy, a vindictive Robert Ryan, and an insatiable Maureen Stapleton, who received an Oscar nod for playing the 'other woman.
