Review of Strange Interlude (1932) by Scott S — 29 Jan 2010
Strange Interlude (1932) -- [2.0] -- Laughably bad melodrama based on a Eugene O'Neill stage play about a woman who cheats on her mentally ill husband in order to have a kid who won't end up in the looney bin.
Clark Gable and Norma Shearer give insanely over-the-top theatrical performances. I was reminded of Jon Lovitz's 'Actor' skit on Saturday Night Live. The movie is also littered with bizarre inner monologues that spur unintentional laughs, especially when one or more characters are quickly alternating between outloud dialogue and private thoughts.
"Strange Interlude" is perhaps the most horrible stage-to-screen adaptation I've ever seen.
