| 'The Marrying Kind' is certainly watchable and both Judy Holliday and Aldo Ray do a good job in their roles, but the praise in Hal Erikson's review is a bit exaggerated. His estimate of the movie may be off since he clearly has only a vague recollection of it. In "the film's most unforgettable sequence," as Erikson calls it, when their son drowns they are not having an argument. Rather Holliday is playing the ukulele in on the couple's few blissful moments during their marriage. For a family drama of this type King Vidor's "The Crowd" is a far better film. As far as comedy goes many of Cukor's other comedies have better dialog and are more enjoyable to watch. (Try "Born Yesterday" for one.) |
