Overacting across the board and Heston miscast as a Mexican not withstanding. It is a product of it's time and place. The film NEEDS these performances for it to be what it is; seminal hollywood film-noir.
Follow Ups:
Rosebud was too, and I love this film so much, it has the sensibility.
Touch do not move me, i look at it from a not being moved point of view.
And I am not quite certain why..i must have another view of this film.
. . . keeping in mind that "Kane" is a completely different type of movie requiring a different feeling from the actors.The best Film Noir, like TOE, requires unlikable characters in every role and a sense of underlying angst. I honestly don't think you are supposed to be moved by them in the same way the characters in the much more sentimental "Kane" move you.
It is not only a question to be moved in the sense in the sentimental way ..it is to be move at all...
But my only reaction was more of seeing something that makes me uncomfortable..like seeing " Salo "
I will do it.
