You’d think an expose on social issued directed by Kazan with a Moss Hart screenplay would be good, wouldn’t’cha, especially if it won the Academy Award. Well. . . unless you are like me and you feel that you one day have to check all the “classics” off the list, I strongly urge you to give this movie a miss. Not only is it a bore, it is inadvertantly insulting to Jews, to New Yorkers and to journalists. Other than a well written speech given by Dorothy McGuire defending her refusal to confront her family’s racism (which would be just fine in essay form) there’s nothing of contemporary merit here, save for perhaps the young Dean Stockwell. And the picture is too long and dull to entertain as time capsule. Celeste Holm won the Oscar, too, for a fairly lame Myrna Loy impersonation.
