Review of The Reckless Moment (1949) by Mike M — 05 Jan 2008
Thematically, Ophüls' last American picture is something like "The Desperate Hours", a film about dark forces insinuating themselves into an all-American household. In the hands of this director, more commonly associated with melodrama than noir, a greater emphasis is placed on the workings of that household (the source material was a short story printed in Ladies' Home Journal, and it shows) than on making sense of the Mason character.
