Content: "Miniserie um eine wohlhabende Psychologin in Manhattan, deren Vorzeige-Leben als Frau eines Arztes durch ein Verbrechen zu zerbrechen droht. Denn in den Kreisen der New Yorker Upper-Class wird eine junge Frau bestialisch ermordet, die ein besonderes Verhältnis zum Mann der Psychologin hatte. Die Frau will nicht an die Schuld ihres Mannes glauben, doch der vom großen Medienrummel begleitete Prozess zeigt auf, dass die Wahrheit schon längst nichts mehr zählt. Der spannende, von einem hervorragenden Darsteller-Ensemble getragene Psychothriller liefert eine bittere Nahaufnahme des sozialen Gewebes der USA und wird von einem hervorragenden Darsteller-Ensemble getragen."

Content: "Dorothy Arzner, the sole woman to work as a director in the Hollywood studio system of the 1930s and early ’40s, brings a subversive feminist sensibility to this juicily entertaining backstage melodrama. A behind-the-footlights look at friendship, jealousy, and ambition in the ruthless world of show business, Dance, Girl, Dance follows the intertwining fates of two chorus girls: a starry-eyed dancer (Maureen O’Hara) who dreams of making it as a ballerina, and the brassy gold digger (a scene-stealing Lucille Ball) who becomes her rival both on the stage and in love. The rare Hollywood picture of the era to deal seriously with issues of female artistic struggle and self-actualization, Arzner’s film is a rich, fascinating statement from an auteur decades ahead of her time."

Uniform Title: Der alte Mann und das Meer

Content: Einem alten kubanischen Fischer, dem es nach unendlichen Mühen gelungen ist, einen Schwertfisch zu erlegen, wird die Beute von Haien geraubt. Die Freundschaft eines Jungen richtet den Gebrochenen wieder auf. Textgetreue, aber der Atmosphäre und dem literarischen Rang nur teilweise gerecht werdende Verfilmung von Hemingways gleichnamigem Kurzroman; in der Verkörperung der Hauptperson vorzüglich, überdenkenswert in den spirituellen Dimensionen.

Uniform Title: They live by night

Content: Ein junger Häftling bricht mit zwei älteren Gefangenen aus, nimmt an einem Bankraub teil und entkommt aufs Land. Dort verliebt er sich in ein Mädchen, das Verständnis für ihn hat. Sie heiraten, doch ihr Glück ist nur von kurzer Dauer. Von der Polizei gejagt, scheitert der Versuch des Paares, nach Mexiko zu entkommen. Nicholas Rays erster Spielfilm ist als romantische Liebesgeschichte inszeniert, deren glückliches Ende durch Ignoranz, Bösartigkeit und Unvermögen der Umwelt verhindert wird. Interessant auch durch die "neue" moralische Beurteilung der vordergründig "bösen" Charaktere. (Neuverfilmung: "Diebe wie wir", 1973, Regie: Robert Altman) [Film-Dienst]
