Movie Review - The Sundowners
The Sundowners (1960)
directed by Fred Zinnemann
rating: 2 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from the vaults
The line between heartwarming Oscar bait and heartwarming TV special is so thin that nothing the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has nominated in my lifetime is really any worse than the movies they nominated fifty years ago. Were it summer, Peter Ustinov's performance as Rupert Venneker would be just enough of a highlight to remind me to watch dear Matt Hooper in Jaws.
