Title: Summer Schlock
Review: This is a genuinely bad movie. The casting is atrocious (e.g. Edward Everett Horton as a Russian Count), and the directing is awful. Oh, did I mention the script? It is the worst part of the film by far. In fact, Summer Storm may become a cult film. I felt especially sorry for Linda Darnell, hopelessly out of her depth in the role of a Russian peasant (flashy makeup and all). How George Sanders must have been amused when receiving his check.Why on earth would this film come out on DVD while so many classics are still unavailable? In any case, stay clear of Summer Smoke. The two stars are for the music and Sanders. Otherwise, this 1944 movie would be included it many lists of the worst films ever made.
Is the review positive or negative?
