Customer Review: A Movie to fit the Mood
I don’t know about you, but I have noticed a definite change in the acting style of Clark Gable after he went off to War. Prior to his service, he was a fast talking, often humorous, center of attention. His later movies, with the notable exception of “The Misfits”, seemed to portray a somber, pensive man; someone who carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. It could be the script, it could be the directing, it probably had a lot to do with the death of Carole Lombard as well, but Gable just wasn’t the same. He wasn’t one of the guys and his romantic roles made him look antiseptic and distant. The reason I make note of this is that this style found a movie that suited it to a tee in “The Homecoming”. Gable plays a good doctor who means well but finds his personal life more important than his professional life. And he finds his well-to-do clients more appealling than those across the tracks. He volunteers for War, goes off with the right intentions while leaving a devoted wife (Ann Baxter) behind. He meets up with Lana Turner and falls in love. He also discovers a few things about duty and responsibility. In the end, he comes home a sadder but wiser man who realizes that his failures in the past don’t have to repeat themselves in the future; a future he resignedly accepts that he’ll have to face. “The Homecoming” wasn’t all that great of a movie. There was a fair amount of the plot that was properly left to our imagination. The acting was decent as was the direction but it’s no accident that this movie doesn’t pop up often on the late show. It is a good morality play and, thanks primarily to Gable, it works well. I realized, as the movie was coming to a close, that the very reason that most of his other Post-War movies were mediocre was the same reason that this was worked well. Gable looked like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders in the role of a man who was supposed to look like someone who had the weight of the world on his shoulders. I rate the movie a C and the casting an A.
Customer Review: One of the best war movies of all time!
This classic WW2 tearjerker is not only a great war movie but is also one of the greatest screen romances of all time. Clark Gable (”Useless”) and Lana Turner (”Snapshot”) seem so natural together and as always make a wonderful couple. One of the things I like so much about this is the fact that Gable and Turner’s relationship is slowly developed, making it much more believable than other screen romances from this period. Anne Baxter is great playing Gable’s worried wife “left behind”, and John Hodiak is awesome playing Gable’s only close friend. I particularly enjoyed the scenes with Hodiak and Baxter, because they were married in real life. They had first met and appeared on-screen together in the 1944 classic “Sunday Dinner for a Soldier”, which has sadly not been released on dvd or vhs. Many view this as simply another adverage melodrama of the 1940s, but I think it’s an underated classic that should’ve won several oscars. Gable and Turner both deserved oscars for their incredible performances. I hope it’s not too long before this film is released on dvd.

Cary Grant teams with director Alfred Hitchcock for the fourth and final time in this superlative espionage caper judged on of the American Film Institute’s Top-100 American Films and spruced up with a new digital transfer and remixed Dolby Digital Stereo. He plays a Manhattan advertising executive plunged into a realm of spy (James Mason) and counterspy (Eva Marie Saint) and variously abducted, framed for murder, chased and in another signature set piece, crop-dusted. He also holds on for dear life from the facial features of the Presidents on Mount Rushmore (backlot sets were used). But don’t expect the Master of Suspense to leave star or audience hanging.

Customer Review: Odd woman out
While I agree that this is a very sleek looking film and there is something appealing about being mistaken for a spy-I really felt as if the plot is nothing more than a series on convenient incidences. I’m sure that this was cutting edge material for a film in 1959, it just strikes me as silly now. But from the silly idea of let’s liquor him up and drive him off a cliff to a crop dusting planning plowing into gas truck, I honestly couldn’t stop rolling my eyes to the back of my head. And I absolutely wasn’t feeling the abrupt ending. I love you Hitchcock and Cary Grant, but this one wasn’t for me.

I love the movie, it deserves five stars, but the DVD was damaged, so I had to return it. I am waiting for a new copy to be sent to me. (I shipped back the damaged version.) Lisa Willis
