VHS Movie Reviews of Strange Interlude
Movie Review: Innovative Film
Summary: 4 Stars
I am not a big movie buff, but purchased this film because I am a fan of silent film star Henry B. Walthall. Walthall is only in the film for the first seven minutes and then his character dies. Rather than losing interest in the film, however, I kept watching and found it very enjoyable. It is a very innovative film, based on the Eugene O'Neill play, that includes thoughts of the characters that are audible to the audience. The main character is Nina Leeds (Norma Shearer). Nina is a very obsessive, neurotic woman who controls the hearts of three men while pining away for her dead fiance Gordon, killed in the Great War. Nina continues to control the lives of her three suitors (one of which is played by Ralph Morgan, brother of the Wizard of Oz). She enters a marriage with a man she does not love and, due to a secret curse in his bloodline, cannot bare his child. She decides, as any woman would, to have another man's child and pose it as her husband's. Curiously, she names her son Gordon and, of course, falls in love with the baby's real father (played by Clark Gable). The film covers their lives through old age. It's interesting watching the characters get older. The make-up people did an excellent job. The film is actually quite good once you get used to the audible thoughts and the overall sappiness. It is long (almost 2 hours) but moves very quickly. I recommend Strange Interlude to any classic movie buff or Clark Gable fan.
