Cukor's fine direction, others turn in superb performances, too-Madge Kennedy as the judge, John Alexander as a wealthy brother-in-law, Mickey Shaughnessy as another in-law, Rex Williams as a friend and many more. His winning performance of the husband is a great factor in this film.Under Mr. Not handsome but sturdy in appearance, and possessed of a melting, husky voice, he has a gift for flowing humor and straight-faced pathos that is almost beyond belief.
Ray in presenting a richly appealing and naturally complicated young man. Her portrayal of an average New York girl-a girl who makes her marriage resolution, "I'm gonna think a half-hour every day," to the utter bewilderment of her mother, who wants to know what she's going to think about-is beautifully textured and colored with expressions, modulations of voice and a good bit more outgive of emotion than was evident in her other role.But the big surprise of this picture is the talent of Mr. "It so happens I remember it different," Miss Holliday primly says.Also the rather sharp transition from the hilarity of gentle farce to the tension of sober drama may be a bit abrupt for easy assimilation, but the development is sound and the contrast in mood and comprehension elevates the significance of the film.Naturally, everybody is eagerly anxious to know how well Miss Holliday's performance stands up with her one in "Born Yesterday." Have no dread on that score. Thus when the husband tells his story of how he met his future wife, the facts as he narrates them are not entirely in accord with what is shown.
Kanin have made it most palatable by wittily having the narrator tell a different story from that which is played on the screen. It is here that they prove their moral-that the natural and ever-hopeful chase after glittering, material ambitions is a wistful and endless dream.Although the form of the picture is a good bit on the obvious side, with the two frustrated spouses telling their story to a judge, Miss Gordon and Mr. Kanin have conveyed the poignancy of frustrations that make marriage so challenging. And it is in this phase of the story that Miss Gordon and Mr. And humor, less strident but tender, is in their confusion and dismay when a radio jackpot-show calls them and dangles that bright, elusive prize.But "The Marrying Kind" is not so funny when tragedy strikes the little home and a good bit of mutual understanding and sacrifice are required.
#EFFORTLESS ASSIMILATION CROSSWORD FULL#
The present is full of sunshine as our two young people meet in Central Park and, before they know it-he, at least-are saying, "I do." It is also loaded with laughter when they light up their first private home-an apartment in Peter Cooper Village-and start being man and wife.There is even hilarity in their squabbling over such a ridiculous thing as his getting tight at a party and paying too much attention to a blonde. But the charming and lastingly affecting thing about "The Marrying Kind" is its bittersweet comprehension of the thorniness of the way that stretches out for two young people after they have taken the marriage vows.Thorniness isn't apparent at the start, we'll concede-and that's a cue not alone to the pattern of this picture but to the realism of its view.
Hilarity is in it-hilarity of the best-as would be almost mandatory in any picture with Miss Holliday. It had its opening performance at the Victoria yesterday.Think it not curious if we don't seem to be as side-splittingly impressed with the hilarities in this picture as its promotion might lead you to expect. The simple domestic problems of a young married couple in New York-he a postoffice worker and she an ex-secretary-have been treated with cheerfulnees and wisdom in the clever and facile script Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin have written for Columbia's "The Marrying Kind." And the wonderfully fluent talents of that grand actress, Judy Holliday, and an equally potent new actor by the name of Aldo Ray have been put by Director George Cukor to the incarnation of this script into what will undoubtedly stand up as one of the happiest entertainments of the year.
