Review of Lisbon

Lisbon (1956)
8/10
Better than average fun melo-dramedy
11 January 2024
I really enjoyed this film. While it's no masterpiece, I thought the performances were quite good, as was the directing, cinematography, location, music, costumes, color and screenplay. It was fun and made me laugh out loud a few times. Claude Rains steals every scene he's in. It's corny in places, but hey; I'm a cornball, so it works for me. It's far from perfect and the third act has a bunch of flaws. But I had a good time and it looks great on Blu-Ray. Milland did a better job with his first directing job, A MAN ALONE, but this one works for me. A good "hang-out" movie. YMMV. Recommended for fans of anyone in the cast, Milland as a filmmmaker and certain kind of old-fashioned post WWII movies from the 50's.
