Review of I'll Get You

I'll Get You (1952)
2/10
i couldn't be threatened into watching this again
15 January 2023
A dreary plot made worse by the acting of George Raft - he not only gives a one note performance - he speaks entirely on one pitch - but even worse that that - are his boxing skills

it's difficult to believe that he was a prize fighter when he was young - it is easy to believe he was bad at it - and quit after a short career - his record hasn't been published anywhere - probably out of shame

while this movie was filmed in england - there are almost no familiar names and faces among the british cast - which is worrisome - next time - don't let the talented ones read the script first

i'm unfamiliar with Sally Gray - she was quite beautiful - she was in her late 30s in this film but looked younger - which made the 14 year age gap between her and Raft seem wider

i can't think of a single compelling reason to watch this - i wish someone had warned me like this.
