Review of The Black Swan (1942) by Vince B — 17 Feb 2009

Terrible movie. Terrible direction. Terrible writing and terrible acting. Really, all that can be said for it is that it's an interesting example of early technicolor. Even one of my favorite film actors, Laird Cregar couldn't save it and wound up playing a cariacture of a "pirate" better suited to halloween than the silver screen.

And not only is this movie bad, it's offensive as well! Typically to see this kind of misogyist rot you had to wait until the 50s, but this movie was definately ahead of it's time.
