GREEN GLOVE, THE(1952)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics
This is pretty disjointed! The problem being that
they let years pass from one scene to another without
much explanation to tie it all together! It's not
bad, but just needed more cohesiveness! C+
A review from IMDb.com:
Was pleasantly surprised by this one. More exciting
than I had expected, it holds your interest throughout
save for one instance. The normally bland Glenn Ford
was effective and compelling as the returning WWII
soldier trying to find the valuable icon in question
and George Macready was a convincing 'bad guy'.
The instance in question, during which the picture
throws out its anchor, wastes about 15 minutes of
screen time as Ford and Geraldine Brooks do a 39
Steps-like turn as a pretend-married couple. Donat
and Carroll did it better, but in "The Green Glove"
it gave a comedic touch to a film which did not
need it.
I thought the scenery and the location shots were
spectacular, particularly a chase over a goat path
high in the mountains. Director Mate was in his
oeuvre here as he was an excellent photographer
but an average director. But the scenery and
several other shots made me wish I could have
seen this one on the big screen. - GManfred
