Review of Written on the Wind (1956) by Ilsa L — 06 Feb 2011
"Written' on the Wind" is one of the most underrated works of the 1950's. It is an exciting, well acted drama filmed in inventive technicolour, unlike other films of the time. It follows the life of four individuals (Lauren Bacall, Rock Hudson, Robert Stack, and Dorothy Malone) on a oil reserve is Texas.
Hudson meets Bacall, who is an executive marketing assistant in New York, but unfortunately, Stack intervenes and takes Bacall away from him, marrying her pre-maturely. Meanwhile, Malone tries to make due a love affair between her and Hudson.
A corrupt film that inspired dramas revolving lust and greed in the many years to come. I treasure this film and what a superior cast to go along.
