nick s A little like a classic disaster movie, the movie struggled to dump information on the audience in an organic way. It used exposition and narration, which came at the cost of immersion. It's a shame because the acting and sets were good. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review Audience Member With the Covid virus making most of us more sensitive to the vast killing potential of a pandemic, this 1950 movie about a Smallpox outbreak in New York is especially dramatic now more than 70 years later. My problem with the film is the lack of a captivating lead for the role of Dr. Ben Wood. William Bishop is the actor entrusted with the role and he simply fails to pierce through as he tries to track down the carrier of the disease (well played by Evelyn Keyes). Even his nurse (Dorothy Malone) fends off his advances. He's just too dull. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review deke p very timely now during WuFlu pandemic, about a SMALLPOX pandemic threatening NYC, USA & the worl. Never heard of until saw on the movie channel 7.2.2020. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review stu b Call this one an overcooked piece of public health propaganda. When diamond smuggler Evelyn Keyes returns to New York from Cuba, she's carrying with her a lot more than just a handful of sparklers; she's also been infected with smallpox, and soon--waxen-faced and wobbly--she's spreading it to everyone around her. As citizens drop like flies, and the police and health departments try desperately to track down the source of the plague (even as they attempt to inoculate everyone in the city--no small task), her sleazy, two-timing, partner-in-crime husband carries out nefarious plans of his own. With its overly earnest doctors, flummoxed nurses, and laughably ubiquitous (and completely unnecessary) voice-over narration, it's quite an experience. For fans of cinematic oddities only. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/18 Full Review Audience Member Good old fashioned supsense.
