Review of The Fugitive Kind (1960) by Millo T — 01 Feb 2014
Brando is pretty good, and Lumet makes the most of the inherent staginess, but it's hard to ignore how much of a ludicrous melodrama it is. It's more over-the-top than a soap opera, and it's not helped by Magnani's incomprehensible line-readings and Woodward's ridiculous jack-in-the-box flailing and self-consciously broad enunciating.
It had some great moments, especially some of the long theatrical conversations, but overall it really wasn't my cup of tea.
