Title: A Disappointing Stroll
Product review: Both in terms of the quality of this DVD (no indexing, a 5 second break in the film, and dust on the lens at one point) and the movie itself, this one was a disappointment.While it deserved some credit when released for some degree of realism and the parts played by Dana Andrews and Lloyd Bridges, it is definately a product of 1940s/1950s Hollywood.Most of the supporting characters are the 1-dimensional ethnic stereotypes of the time - the WHITE Booklynite, the WHITE Jersery City guy, the WHITE mid-westerner, etc.Then there is the annoying and pointless movie song brought in from time-to-time sung by the stereotypical BLACK bartone. I kept waiting for the "Old Man Ribbah, that Old Man Ribbah..." reframe.Perhaps this movie was treading new ground when released, but its treading water now.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
