I saw this movie when it was first released. Both my
companion and I found
the movie memorable and not for any of the reasons stated
above. Wasn't it a
Pete Rugalo (sp?) score? I loved the style including the
titles. I thought
of it just this morning watching I WANT TO LIVE featuring
music by Shelly
Mann and others. It's been many months since I saw TWTTF, but
I recall much
of the tone, look and content. Favorably. It's almost campy
but takes itself
too seriously to make that fit. It's almost a loving parody.
It rather
bothered me too in its overblown style...still...I liked
it.
I loved I WANT TO LIVE. Is it considered film noir?
Regardless, Susan
Hayward gave a great performance. Well deserving of tbe Best
Actress Oscar
and Golden Globe awards she received.
