tiempo Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I had to go back to work in the middle of In Name Only. Does Cary Grant get his divorce? Does he marry his widowed love? Please help. It's driving me nuts! Edited by: tiempo on Jan 18, 2012 2:32 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaytonf Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 You can read the full synopsis here: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/2238/In-Name-Only/ or wait for TCM to show it again. It was on just last August, and October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprocket_Man Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I can't say fairly that it's an awful film, but everything, absolutely everything in the film rings false. All the dramatic rhythms are off, the character motivations and actions make little or no sense, resulting in these two great stars chewing the scenery with the melodramatic claptrap that's been placed in their, and everyone else's, mouths. The most notable thing about the film (which I'd never seen before) is that it struck me how much Linda Darnell (whose hollywood career began the same year IN NAME ONLY was released) looks like a younger, prettier Kay Francis -- and what a forgettably pretentious, and sexless, actress Francis was. Was Warner Bros. ever lucky when the rise of Bette Davis as it's "queen of the lot" shoved Francis out the door). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
