Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

drednm Botched on all levels, this remake of A FREE SOUL from 1931 takes the basic plot of that searing classic and turns it into a bland love story.Elizabeth Taylor has the Norma Shearer part. Here she's a snotty young woman who tosses daddy and beau aside to run after a gangster. There's no chemistry between Taylor and Fernando Lamas (the Clark Gable role) so it's impossible to buy her reckless actions.William Powell has the Lionel Barrymore role that won him an Oscar. Here, Powell is sidelined into an empty role that gives him nothing to do. In the original film, Shearer fights to save Barrymore (who in turn comes to the rescue in the finale). Here, Powell just disappears into the woodwork. Gig Young plays the Leslie Howard role. As with Powell, Young disappears as well.So 20 years after A FREE SOUL was a critical and popular hit, the story has been gutted and remade for no reason at all but to present the young Taylor in an adult role. At 69 minutes, they also turned it into a B movie.

beadbud5000-236-262376 William Powell as the girl's Father, was very good and it was his third to last film. He retires in 1955, two years later. Elizabeth Taylor is building her "acting chops" in this film. She is good. Think of this film as leaning towards being a melodrama. At 69 minutes long, it is short but with good cinematic tension. Fernando Lamas is fine as the hoodlum, love interest. Both Fernando Lamas and Elizabeth Taylor look incredibly beautiful and sexy! James Whitmore is surprisingly good as the best friend but a part of the syndicate . This is one of his early films but he carries himself wonderfully! This film is not heavy on depth as many of the classic films of the 1950's are known have. I enjoyed myself. The film held my interest. 5 out of 10 stars!

nomoons11 I know this is suppose to be a remake of "Free Soul" but the old version just felt different. This one makes you feel like most women are either heartless and would leave the man who's courted them for a long time just to be with a guy who's obviously a thug and screw the other guys feelings...or...that women are too stupid to think for themselves because they fall in love with the first guy that's just too handsome so they can't think of anything other than...it's love.This one really irritated me cause of the above mentioned aspect of the film. The title is not really part of the film. Elizabeth Taylor doesn't have everything. I think it was suppose to be a reference to a girl who just does whatever she wants at any cost...regardless of what it does to anyone else.If your thinking about screwin your boyfriend or future husband over, then watch this film. If your not, then skip this one...it's not worth the watch.

imdb-24 A bit of an old fashioned drama, but entertaining if you like movies about simpler times. The plot is simple and not overly cluttered. The cast is superb. If you like to watch movies instead of analyzing them, then just sit back, watch and enjoy.
