Review of Torch Song (1953) by Gregg D — 15 Jul 2011
Viva La Diva!!!! But I just didn't know at 1st if I wanted the Slap the Nasty out of her or Hug The Nasty out of Her.
Who knew Joan Craford could sing & Dance? And Well, actually.Check out the Runners(not dancers) thighs on her! Abundance of talent, no wonder she harbored such a high opinion of herself.Her Diva personality is put to great use here, as she doesn't just play superbly to Character, it IS her character.The Diva of Drama, may be misunderstood & lonely in both real life & in this role, & it shows on her face as stern & constipated.While a pretty woman, she looks mean from the inside out, esp. here, more than any other role I've seen her in.Something tells me its not just makeup or acting.I just want to Hug her till she melts the Ice.
She meets her match in a Blind Pianist who is neither afraid of her, nor affected by her.Meeting someone who can put he in her place is just what the Doctor ordered & kinder than a Personality Enema.Gotta Love an Ice melting movie like this one.
