Audience Member mitchum & maclaine, as always, on form. The script, although good, could have been better. Don't watch for laughs! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Robert Mitchum is miscast as a Nebraska lawyer having a midlife crisis. He moves to Greenwich Village, where he meets dancer Shirley MacLaine, vulnerable and a harpy at the same time. Talky, dated, and so boring I quit paying attention until I looked up to see the MGM lion roaring at the end. Notable only as the picture where the leads met and had a lifelong affair. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member I really wanted to like this film, being directed by the great Robert Wise, with a gorgeous jazzy score by Andre Previn, and two favorites as the romantic leads, Robert Mitchum and Shirley McClaine. Unfortunately, the story is quite predictable and rather trite. McClain and Mitchum are terrific and really do manage to carry the film. Wise directs the film with style and the black and white photography of New York City is terrific. The script is where the film lets down, with it feeling like an incredibly dated story. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member "two for the seesaw" has wonderful performances from both robert mitchum and shirley maclaine, who are great together. both of them play it genuinely and you forget they're famous actors and believe they are the characters they're portraying. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member The first thing I have to say is that this film looks amazing, the crisp B & W photography is gorgeous from the first frame until the credits roll, and both Mitchum and MacLaine are fun to watch in their roles. His uptight laconic routine plays nicely against her whimsical free spirit, even as they spend the film dancing around truly depressing situation and refusing to allow themselves to commit to one another. Good film, worth tracking down. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review ashley h Two for the Seesaw is a poignant film. It is about a guy wandering around New York. Robert Mitchum gave an excellent performance. The script is pretty good. Robert Wise did great with directing. I liked this movie but is not one of my favorites.
