Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Aug 23
4/10
This well-acted, no-nonsense drama strikes an admirable tone, even if its overt messaging is a fantasy, an idealistic take on capitalism that is less and less true every year and completely at-odds with Washburn’s agenda to aid the everyman. Go to Full Review

Madam D @Madam1948 Mar 8 This stupid movie makes big corporations the good guy. Local newspaper is "used" by a former state senator to try to be re-elected. What a load of hogwash. Insulting to the viewer. See more Blobbo X @Blobbo 08/21/2024 Not much to recommend spending 60 minutes of life on. (Marilyn Monroe only on for maybe 2 minutes.) (Her pretty.) See more 06/11/2016 I liked how Mike Washburn changed his views on corporate profit. Like most people, they need tragedy to see a new perspective. See more 01/28/2014 Presents a point of view that cannot be easily dismissed. Marjorie Reynolds is very beautiful. See more 07/23/2013 It's pretty boring and forgettable, and is only worth watching for Marilyn Monroe's cameo role (current DVDs list her as the star). I'm a huge fan of movies from Hollywood's golden age, but, like any era, this is proof that only the truly good ones become remembered. See more 04/23/2012 decent little flick. it was interesting to see Marilyn Monroe in a part before Hollywood turned her in into a sex symbol See more Read all reviews
