Review of The Tender Trap (1955) by Ryan M — 26 Jun 2009
Like virtually hundreds of other pre-feminist films, 'The Tender Trap' posits "love and marriage" as the solution to problems of impotency, existential hang-ups, et al; however, the movie gets increasingly better as it works to complicate this tired sociological equation responsible for so many bad movies.
Though the film in its resolution ultimately squares with the social mores it had worked to undermine, it remains interesting for its middle chunk, which is a loopy, farcical game of romantic musical chairs.
Wayne and Holm carry the movie through to mixed success.
