A flashy but contrived Hollywood melodrama...

Not since certain German films of the Twenties have I seen such overuse of camera angles, such cluttered sets, and such a profusion of props.

In his second film, scripted by William Inge, Warren Betty gives one of his strongest and most sensual performances as the amoral youth in a role that thematically resembles Hud (played by Paul Newman).

How bad can a movie be with Angela Landsbury, Karl Maulden, Warren Beatty and Eva Marie Saint, all who give fine performances, all directed by the great John Frankenheimer? Bad. Not like limburger bad; bad like skim milk masquerading as limburger.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

All Fall Down is a decent film. It is about a feuding couple who are constantly bickering over their son. Karl Malden and Warren Beatty give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. John Frankenheimer did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama.

Dysfunctional family in 1962 with Warren Beatty in one of his best roles as the troubled oldest son, Angela Lansbury as his overbearing mother, whose obsessed with him, Eva Marie Saint as the girl he falls for, Brandon de Wilde is the young brother, and Karl Malden as the father. It's a little slow in the beginning, but picks up steam in the second half. Script by William Inge. The big downfall is the ending. Nothing is resolved. The performances are uniformly excellent.
