Review of Cash McCall

Cash McCall (1960)
5/10
Cash McCall is one of the more forgetable movies from either James Garner or Natalie Wood
18 March 2021
Having not known about this movie previously, I only checked this out from the library because of the stars attached to it: James Garner and Natalie Wood. Watching it with Mom just now, I have a feeling why this is not so well-known: It seems unable to make up its mind about the tone of the characters and plot. Garner is supposed to be somewhat of an unscrupulous bussinessman and Wood is supposed to be the daughter of a once-successful one who half-owns his bussiness and also once was involved with Garner the previous summer. Like I said, the tone shifts one way and another and while there are some amusing scenes and lines, whatever drama ensures becomes convoluted , to me anyway. I'm not sure my mom knew what was going on, either. So on that note, Cash McCall may be worth a look and nothing more...
