Die Unersättlichen (1964)
50KDie Unersättlichen: Directed by Edward Dmytryk. With George Peppard, Alan Ladd, Carroll Baker, Robert Cummings. Jonas Cord is a disagreeable young tycoon who’s building planes, directing films, and catting around on the corporate make in 1930s Hollywood.
“Howard Hughes? Not really. George Peppard sketches a character without ever inhabit him. Itu0026#39;s all effect. Carroll Baker, the brilliant Baby Doll, surrenders to the marketing demands and she revisits her aggressively sexual creature with more sparkle but less depth. Alan Ladd is the one that touches personal buttons and he is wonderful. Edward Dmytryck doesnu0026#39;t find a real center to Harold Robbins melodrama. Elizabeth Ashleyu0026#39;s character exemplifies what Iu0026#39;m trying to say. Her journey is quite simply, absurd. She loves him and she hates him in a surprisingly unpredictable pattern. Absurd to such point thatu0026#39;s not even entertaining but irritating. – As a side note, I had the experience to watch this movie on TCM with 5 twentysomethings – They laughed and laughed as if it was a hysterical comedy – I asked them what was so funny and their replay was, everything.”
