3.0 out of 5 stars A DEBUT FOR ROSALIND., March 30, 2002

By

This review is from: Evelyn Prentice [VHS] (VHS Tape)

In her film debut, Rosalind Russell plays Nancy Harrison, a woman who gets acquitted for manslaughter by her lawyer Powell - and the plot thickens......EVELYN PRENTICE demonstrated that Powell and Loy could enthrall audiences in a serious drama. In their third time out, Powell and Loy found themselves again involved with criminal doings, although not as Nick and Nora Charles!. The proceedings this time are more solemn, with less opportunity for fey humour and amusing sallies, the prevailing mood being somber. Powell turned in a performance of considerable dignity in this film as he gets across to the audience the character of a seriously dedicated man of the law who pays the price for sacrificing his personal life with his wife and child to the exigencies of his career. Myrna Loy is charming and capable as usual in the title role, and Isabel Jewell is memorable in a key role. William K. Howard directed with an expert eye for the tensions implicit in the drama, and the excellent Lenore Coffee screenplay helped Howard put a lot a narrative punch into the film. A strong supporting cast includes Una Merkel, Jessie Ralph and Edward Brophy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Evelyn Prentice, May 24, 2000

This review is from: Evelyn Prentice [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I thought the movie was excellent. I love "mysteries". I enjoy trying to figure it out. The only thing I was disappointed in were the holes that we left out of the story that I could have used to figure it out. Other than that, Powell and Loy, as always, we fantastic!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Showcase of Talent, January 17, 2000

By 

Vibeke Patterson (Orem, Utah United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Evelyn Prentice [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This film is a great showcase of William Powell's and Myrna Loy's talent. They both shine, which makes up for any holes in the plot. The film successfully builds suspense, but it also stays short enough not to bore its viewers.
