3/10
Joyless, Witless, Dull
23 June 2020
This movie has no charm and is utterly forgettable. The main character, Mary, is in love with a self-absorbed, womanizing, uncharismatic salesman. Why? Because he was supposedly nice to her when she first got hired. He seems completely disinterested in her romantically and doesn't give her the credit she deserves for his success. Yet she's still in love with him. Why? Who knows? The characters are dull and poorly written. There's no dramatic conflict in the film's first two acts, and you're left wondering what the point of the story even is an hour into it. By the time conflict arrives in the third act, it's predictable, cliched, and unsatisfying. The acting is mediocre, and the cinematography is actually wobbly at times. I love watching Pre-Codes, but unfortunately, this one was pretty terrible 80 minutes that felt like 2 and a half hours. Avoid this one. There are many far better Pre-Codes to watch.
