Genres, Themes, Actors, and Directors:
Review: Much time is spent in early scenes showing Fonda flashing back to missed opportunities with O’Hara, as Gardner conveniently sweeps in and obnoxiously tries to woo her away. Once we finally understand the thrust of the drama that will take place on the desert (i.e., Mitchell’s mentorship of Fonda): … we feel a little more engaged — but not much, since we’re relatively certain how things will turn out, more or less. I recommend watching Sahara (1943) instead for a much better wartime movie taking place in the same setting. Notable Performances, Qualities, and Moments:
