Thelma Ritter!, 27 July 2003
Author: (rushton@wizwire.com) from Auburn, CA

The scenery looks bedraggled in this movie because so many people chew it. It's an over-the-top melodrama, with William Holden being the most ridiculous. But never mind -- it has Thelma Ritter, who can save any movie. She's the best thing in this one.
