Review of This Property Is Condemned (1966) by Kevin R — 28 Feb 2015
She's the main attraction.
A railroad official rides into a small town to deliver some news. During the heart of the railroad age, some towns contained brothel like establishments similar to some truck stops in the modern era. The official stays at a brothel in the town but more for room and board than the treats. However, he falls for the madam's daughter. The daughter lives in the clouds and has dreams of doing great things. Will the official and daughter make things perfect for both sides?
"A man takes a drink. A drink takes a drink. The drink takes the man.".
Sydney Pollack, director of Tootsie, Out of Africa, The Firm, The Interpreter, Absence of Malice, Bobby Deerfield, The Way we Were, and The Scalphunters, delivers This Property is Condemned. The storyline for this picture is remarkably well done. I adored the characters and Alva's character was awesome and reminded me so much of someone that was in my life. The acting was perfection and the cast includes Robert Redford, Charles Bronson, Natalie Wood, Kate Reid, Mary Badham, and Robert Blake.
"Don't tell him.".
I randomly came across this film because it stars Charles Bronson. I thought Robert Redford and Charles Bronson would be an interesting combination for a film. I thought Robert Redford and Natalie Wood were amazing in this picture. This is one that keeps you thinking about it after you see it. I really recommend this classic.
"This property is condemned but ain't nothing wrong with it.".
Grade: A+.
