Stravinsky: Petrouchka; Le Sacre du printemps; L'Oisseou de feu suite; Riccardo Chailly Music

14 Hours (1951) [Re-UP] Movies

Posted by Someonelse at April 7, 2015

Notable for the screen debut of Kelly, this is a gripping little number from Hathaway, with Basehart as the despondent young man who threatens to jump from a New York skyscraper. He proceeds to change the lives of all around him as a result of his actions, from the policeman who spends the aforesaid 14 hours trying to talk him down, to Kelly as the young wife who is forced to reconsider her divorce as a result of the would-be suicide. It's a simple formula, but one that works, thanks to Basehart's tormented performance, and direction that maintains the suspense throughout.
