Featured review
MANHATTAN MELODRAMA goest West
Not bad at all this early Joseph Newman's film, very moving, poignant, but maybe too short. It should have been far longer than sixty five minutes. Characters depiction is so well done that I hardly believe it for such a B production. John Carradine also in a surprising performance; but Carradine was excellent everywhere, whatever the characters he played. So I highly recomment this little western drama from the early forties, during WW2. The scheme of childhood friends whose paths split, one good and one "less" good, was of course inspired by MANHATTAN MELODRAMA, this notorious Woddy Van Dyke's masterpiece, made six years earlier.
