Bungalow der Frauen (1956)

Bungalow der Frauen: Directed by Raoul Walsh. With Jane Russell, Richard Egan, Joan Leslie, Agnes Moorehead. Set in the early ’40s, a San Francisco prostitute is run out of town just as the second World War has begun to intensify. Mamie settles down in Hawaii, hoping to start a new life. Though her prospects look good when she falls in love with a science-fiction writer who treats her with the respect she deserves, the dawning war and the fallacies of her previous lifestyle complicate their budding romance. Mamie cannot fully remove herself from her former profession, and provides some of her old services to the sailors stationed in town. Searching for another means of financial security, Mamie invests in several pieces of real estate and becomes quite wealthy, though her bad reputation has not been forgotten by the locals.

“Itu0026#39;s hard to believe that itu0026#39;s 6 years since this film appeared at the cinemas. At the time it was a truly ground-breaking film, managing for the first time to portray dinosaurs in an extremely realistic manner, unlike those plasticine monsters that we were forced to watch in previous monster movies. Jurassic Park will also be remembered as the movie that finally made George Lucas sit up and realise that it was possible for him to make his prequels.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn hindsight, while it is still an extremely well directed and tension filled movie, the script did seemed dumbed down in order to appeal to as many people as possible – but thatu0026#39;s really irrelevant since this film is all about dinosaurs. One of Spielbergu0026#39;s brilliantly directed films, it even managed to make me forget Spielbergu0026#39;s previous disaster of a movie – do you recall HOOK?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e8/10.”
