Review of The Reckless Moment (1949) by Tibor B — 18 Sep 2009
Many seem to consider Max Ophuls a man with feminist sensibilities but I can't really see that in his other works even in The Earrings of Madame de or Lola Montes so I can say that The Reckless Moment is the closest Max Ophuls got to being feminist at all.
A houswife whose husband is always away and never there to depend on deals with this problem on her own, trying her best to protect her daughter, and soon finds herself having some feelings for the one who blackmails her.
It's Hollywood romanticized film noir at its best.
