Product Description

Isabel Lorrison is a good-time girl destined for a bad-time fate: a murder victim on a mortuary slab. But who killed her? A casual pickup? An envious girlfriend? A philandering husband with an eye for beauty? Or the man's wife, who had every motive to put her hands around Isabel's perfect neck and squeeze? Barbara Stanwyck stars as the wronged wife in this sleek mystery-melodrama, giving a strong, sympathetic performance as a woman whose life is at a dramatic crossroads. Ava Gardner, at the start of her rise to stardom, sizzles as voluptuous Isabel. And James Mason, Van Heflin, Cyd Charisse and Nancy Davis round out the impressive cast to help make East Side, West Side a seductive Manhattan murder-go-round.

A tale of Deception and Principles

East Side West Side, is a story about a woman who grew up on the poor side of town,but is now a wealthy socialite living with her husband who has promised to mend his ways and stay true to their marriage. He is Brandon Bourne (James Mason) a solicitor who had an affair with Isabel Lorrison (Ava Gardiner) which nearly caused the breakup of his marriage to the well liked and respected Jessie Bourne (Barbara Stanwyck).
To the concern of her friends,Jessie forgives Brandon and believes him when he pledges his undying love for her. However Brandon is a louse, and when he meets up with a young model Rose Senta (Cyd Charise) in his favourite club, and discovers she knows who his wife is - it doesn't send out the red danger sign warning that it should. Along comes his former mistress Isabel Lorrison who has just arrived back in New York after some time away. The man that Isabel came in with sees her swept along by Brandon and follows them outside, where a fight ensures and photographers take Brandon's photo - spread eagled on the footpath.
Rosa comes to his rescue and bundles Brandon into a taxi and takes him to her home to sober up.
It is this incident that sends East Side,West Side spiraling into a series of confrontations and questions, that set up the rest of the movie.
1.Brandon has to go home and tell his long suffering wife that he's likely to be on the front page of the newspapers in a few hours - he wasn't where he said he was and anyway it wasn't his fault, it was all a misunderstanding...
2.The next day Jessie goes to her favourite fashion house to meet Rose for confirmation of Brandon's "far fetched"story. Rose verifies her part in the incident and Jessie thanks her for getting Brandon away from the incident so quickly.The two become friends and Jessie offers to drive Rose to the airport to meet her "fella" Mark Dwyer (Van Heflin) home from reporting on the European situation. Mark and Jessie discover they are both going to be attending the same party that evening,and when Brandon fails to arrive home in time to take Jessie to the party,she goes on alone.
3.Finally, Jess telephones Brandon's secretary at home and discovers that Isabel Lorrison turned up at the office without an appointment to see Brandon. Jessie is shattered by this latest betrayal and Mark, alarmed by the state she is in, takes her home.
As time goes on we see Jessie and Mark discover they both come from the poor side of town,both have strong Italian ties, and they really get on.
When Jessie and her errant husband face each other it is Brandon who asks his wife for understanding - as he tries to explain his inexcusable behaviour.
Brandon "Jess, can't you understand what this is for me ? I'm like a drunk who knows liquor will wreck him. He hates it. He hides from it. He tries...he tries.." Jessie "What are you asking for ? Permission ?"
Ava Gardiner - who often played the temptress in her earlier career - is again the seductress. She goes after what she wants and her language to Brandon leaves the audience in no doubt as to the kind of physical relationship she wants again - with Brandon.
Like most popular Hollywood movies of it's time, the roster of good actors in East Side,West Side runs deep. Nancy Davis plays Jessie's best friend who is concerned for her friend and disturbed by Brandon's behaviour. Gale Sondergaard is Nora Kernan, Jessie's mother. I have written about her before in The Letter as the Chinese mistress seeking revenge. Her career was ruined by the HUAC during the McCarthy era, but she was always a fine actress. Beverly Michaels - all 5feet 9inches of her - plays the dreaded Felice, whose man is being wooed away by Isabel. Felice is a nasty piece of work, who can take care of herself in a fight,as Mark Dwyer discovers. I don't know much about Ms Michael's career, but she was very effective and utterly convincing in East Side,West Side.

This film is entertaining, a bit too "folksy" for 2012, but is blessed by the presence of the great Miss Stanwyck, who was far and away one of the best actors of her time, James Mason - whose English films often saw him play the cruel cad - was perfectly cast as Brandon Bourne. Van Heflin, who was a quiet achiever in Hollywood, beautifully underplays his perfomance as the decent Mark Dwyer,and they were well supported by the likes of Nancy Davis,Gale Sondergaard, and Beverly Michaels. A definite 4 star movie.

A MUST FOR YOUR CLASSIC LIBRARY

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2018

What can I say. If your a classic movie buff like me you can't go wrong. Van Heflin is such a great actor and sadly overlooked. Van and Barbara are at their best together, so I'm waiting patiently for them to come out with B. F's Daughter. Of course there is Black Widow (plus so many more) with Van Heflin which need to be released.
