Review of The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (1946) by Rohan T — 06 Feb 2008
"Hotel clerk: There's half as many baths as there is rooms. Half the rooms has bath and half hasn't; that's one way of looking at it. Another is - for each two rooms one has a bath in the middle and the other hasn't - or - you might say - there's a half a bath to each of two rooms.
" Nice dialogue, nice noir but it's really more melodrama with lots of cigarette smoke, snappy one liners and shadows. Although it stars debut-star Kirk Douglas, moremore-baritone-than-bacall Lizabeth Scott and evil weirdy Barbara Stanwyck, it's Van Heflin who steals the show.
Stirring Miklo Rozsa score too.
