Steve D I don't agree with some of its message but the acting and story are powerful. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/02/23 Full Review ashley h My Reputation is an okay film. It is about a recent widow meets an army major while skiing. Barbara Stanwyck and George Brent give decent performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Curtis Bernhardt did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the romance. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Barbara Stanwyck uplifts this fine melodrama. She is terrific as always. Great supporting cast, good screenplay. Nicely produced, a fine classic. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Stanwyck performance helps a mediocre script. A nice way to spend 90 minutes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member To me, Barbara Stanwyck is such the prototypical noir femme fatale, but her Pre-Code works like 'Baby Face' are masterpieces, and her other works, in which she shows her vulnerability, are just as appetizing to the cinephile. Excellent for fans of drama or melodrama, especially from that era, when a widow who's nagging, overbearing mother won't let her find happiness because of what the neighbours would say, just can't take it any more. To a certain extent, with current society, our constantly trying to fit in and get approval from others makes this just as relevant today. She had a decent, not great, supporting cast to work with, and though director Bernhardt wasn't A-list (my favourite of his is 'Possessed' with Joan Crawford), he's all right for this material, and the Warner Brothers' production values, including Max Steiner doing the score and gorgeous photography from James Wong Howe, make this a lesser-known, under-the-radar, hidden gem you might enjoy. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
