Haiku and Review: The Best Years of Our Lives, Laura, and Make Way for Tomorrow
Recently I had the idea to catch up with some old movies, so I looked up the AFI 100 list to see which films I haven’t seen. Turns out there are plenty, so I picked one out, and it led to another, and then another, and I have a feeling I’ll be seeing more old movies in the future. I feel foolish for once thinking that I wouldn’t relate to films made before 1950 (All About Eve and Sunset Blvd. seemed like a decent starting point). How wrong I was!
There are two highlights in this movie: the scene between Frederic March and Myrna Loy, who play the parents to Theresa Wright. In their bedroom, the three of them have a conversation about love that just may knock your socks off. My socks are still knocked out cold. The other highlight is purely visual, of Dana Andrews walking along the decommissioned airplanes. I suppose nowadays they’d just CGI it, but here, it’s real, and that makes it even more powerful.
Vincent Price plays Laura’s fiancé, and I never knew what a handsome, strapping lad he was in his youth. Before Laura, the only Price I knew was the laugher in Michael Jackson’s Thriller and the inventor in Edward Scissorhands.
