as fifties as it gets

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2000)

Men are men, women are women and the bad guy did it, I love this movie... It epitomises all that is (was) fifties, the hypocritical approach to sexuality, the belief in morality even as it is compromised for its own sake (they lay that on good and thick), and love ofcourse, always "meant to be". See Jimmy shine as never before or ever again, in this, the absolute best fifties movie ever made.
