Review of People Will Talk (1951) by Roderic W — 18 Nov 2017
A slight and dated film that stretches credulity. Even Grant is annoying and cloying. Had the film focused on the unwed and pregnant Jeanne Crain and her predicament in 1951, there might be something here.
Instead the film goes off a ridiculous tangent with so called secrets of both Grant and his hunkering friend. I stayed with the film because it was unknown to me and I was curious. The fun part is when Grant's character speechifies against the tasteless and hygienically packaged food on 1951.
Having been alive in the fifties as a child, I can attest to the quality of food during that era compared to what came later. Yes Mr. Mankewicz we bought sauerkraut from barrels, butter from huge blocks, and milk in bottles during the fifties.
And food had taste.
