PARADINE CASE(1947)
Peck plays a barrister who is called on to defend a
woman accused of poisoning and killing her husband! Ann
plays his forlorned wife and Ethel the accused woman!
I'm really spoiled by Cary Grant's turns in Hitchcock
movies, as I compare the lead actors to him, and in
this case, Peck leaves a lot to be desired! The story
is interesting enough, but the whole thing just seemed
a little slow and plodding! Not Hitch's best! B-
From IMDb.com:
OK, so it wasn't the most suspenseful movie Hitchcock
ever made, but what a cast! Whenever you can get Charles
Laughton, Ethel Barrymore, Gregory Peck, Leo G. Carroll,
AND an exceedingly pretty Louis Jordan on the same screen
at the same time, you know you're in for a treat. Laughton,
as the judge, alone is worth the time spent watching this
film.
True, they don't make "talky" pictures like this anymore,
but that's half the fun. I think Maltin's 2 1/2 stars is
just about right. - areopagite
