That's a nice Jean Simmons lineup.
I also admire her work in "The Happy Ending" and one of her last roles in the female ensemble "How to Make an American Quilt."
She's one of my favorites.

Noir Alley this weekend is showing The Two Mrs. Carrolls starring Bogart and Stanwyck. It's one of the few Bogart films I have not seen and the negative reviews has been a large factor as to why I've procrastinated in watching it. Anyone here who has viewed it, what are your thoughts?

It is a disappointment to me, given that the leads are two of the best actors of the studio-era. Still worth watching, especially for the scene where Bogart is introduced to a diva, as played by Alexis Smith. The banter between the two makes for one great scene. |

If a film noir provides a moody, stylized visual aesthetic with the low key lighting, I can oftentimes overlook an subpar script. |

If a film noir provides a moody, stylized visual aesthetic with the low key lighting, I can oftentimes overlook an subpar script. It doesn't have many unique visuals. Near the end of the film there are some but they are more along the lines of a horror film than noir. This is true for Bogart's acting. His actions are driven by his shaky mental state and come of as over-the-top IMO. I am interested in Muller's comments; E.g. why he selected this film for Noir Alley. |

Muller probably picked it because he somehow thinks it's "quintessential".  I liked the movie OK, but I wouldn't really call it "great". And I wasn't necessarily disappointed when first seeing it because I went into it with no expectations. Not Bogart's best, but I find it hard to pick one that's a "worst". Sepiatone |

He's probably expected to pick films from TCM's library, and since this WB title has good production values and top tier stars, it makes sense that he'd select it.

I assume Eddie selected The Two Mrs. Carrolls due to the Borgat and Stanwyck being iconic noir actors, that this is the only film they did together and that it does involve murder (i.e. has some noir elements). |
