Featured review
A rather forward treatment of adoption for a 1951 release
If anything, this film is a good example of what it means to take something into context. There was a serious stigma of adoption around, as well as long before, the decade/century this film was made. I admire it for its attempt to debunk it.
Milland's performance is adequate, although I agree with another reviewer who finds it difficult to like his character. What surprised me is Tierney's performance. I think her range as an actress was sadly discounted, especially after the success of Laura and Leave Her To Heaven. She proves in this movie, at least to me, she was capable of just about any role; and Night And The City is excellent proof.
If you're a fan of supporting actress Fay Bainter, this is a must-see.
