Lana Turner Deserved a Nomination, 6 September 2007
9/10
Author: AndersonWhitbeck from United States

Lana Turner, party gal supreme, was a fine actress whose personal life detracted from her fine on-camera work. "The Bad and The Beautiful" "Peyton Place" "Imitation Of Life" and this film "Madame X" are all examples of fine acting. Miss Turner after the Stopanato Murder was given a new lease on her career by Ross Hunter at Universal, and the result was "Imitation of Life" a huge success for Universal and Turner who had an ownership percentage in that hit. Hunter and Turner re-prised in" Portrait In Black" and hit another great home run with a remake of "Madame X". Simply put Lana Turner is outstanding in this film and the last 30 minutes of the film in particular have Lana performing as only the best actresses could. She should have been nominated, but I gather her party ways, the hangover of the Stompanto murder, etc..left a sour taste with some Academy voters. Fine support by Keir Dullea and terrific seeing Constance Bennett in the role of Lana's wicket Mother In Law. Ms Bennett died soon after filming. This is a fine Film with Lana Turner robbed of a Nomination.
