"The Tarnished Angels" sets us up for an interesting ride and the stakes are suitably high. But the overblown dialogue steals us away from experiencing the story, and instead forces our focus on the writers' stilted poesy, apt for "Julius Caesar," but pretentious for a few crusty gypsies with circus dreams. The tension in the love quadangle, though - three men starving for beautiful Dorothy Malone - spells magic.

Well, in my opinion, Dorothy Malone and Jack Carson were the winners in this movie? They both did an outstanding job highly recommend it, James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, October 10, 2023.

Terrific Douglas Sirk melodrama from the William Faulkner

Terrific Douglas Sirk melodrama from the William Faulkner novel "Pylon." I have not read the Faulker book, but I'm guessing it was nowhere as soapy as the film, but as soapy melodrama's go, no one does them better than Douglas Sirk. Robert Stack plays a boozy disillusioned WWI flying ace who now spends his days as a barnstorming pilot at rural carnivals with his neglected parachutist wife, Dorothy Malone, who he only married as a result of a literal roll of the dice. Rock Hudson plays a reporter doing a story on this dysfunctional traveling family of flyers that also includes Jack Carson, Troy Donahue, and William Schallert. Sirk's perchance for over-the-top drama is probably not going to look great to modern viewers, but for fans of classic Hollywood and fans of Sirk in particular, this film is a must see!
