Ann Vickers |

Director Starring |
One contemporary reviewer summed this up as “the sort of thing Irene Dunne does for RKO,” and that’s pretty much the whole story. An average entry from her early melodrama phase, serviceable enough, and she’s more than marvelous. It’s about a free-thinking suffragist, social worker and prison reformer out of Sinclair Lewis’ novel, and it’s evident the censors took an axe to it, or at the level of conception the filmmakers through Lewis out the window. Vickers’ behavior here is almost socially correct (she does have a child out of wedlock and have an affair with a married man in a sort of “Victorian divorce” arrangement, but it pales in comparison with the literary Ann) and by the end of the film has forgotten her social agenda and cares only for reuniting family, reassuming wifely duties. |
