Marvelous People, Splendid Talk
How many movies had a score by Brahms? ‘People Will Talk’ features his Academic Festival Overture, which is the only example of cheerful grandeur I can think of in serious music. Mankewicz knew what he was doing, because this is a cheerfully grand movie. While his ‘Letter to three wives’ and ‘All About Eve’ are more famous, this one is my favorite.For one thing, Cary Grant has never been more attractive, for Dr. Praetorious is a good and humane doctor. “I don’t cure illness, I make sick people well.” If the notion that a woman bearing a child out of wedlock is a disgrace has gone, the theme of the mediocre witch-hunting the brilliant is timeless.
The phrase ‘beloved character actor’ could have been invented for Finlay Currie, but you’ve got to be able to use it for Walter Slezak – at least in this movie. (See “Lifeboat”)
If you spend two hours with these people, you’ll hear some very splendid talk, and you’ll feel both warmed and civilized. How many of today’s movies do that?
A witty, compassionate and literate treasure
This is very unique film. Superlatively written, it offers amusing dialog, social insight and enlightened views of science, women’s issues, social mores, the nature of success, materialism and the urge to destroy what we cannot understand.It is not boring, yet its main characters are doctors/composers, and professors. Though its setting is an elite clinic and a university, it is concerned with real people and their needs.
Cary Grant is at his warm, compassionate and wryly witty best.
His sidekick, so to speak, is the rumpled and likeable Walter Slezak. Hume Cronyn is superb as the little weasel who sets out to “investigate” i.e. slander and destroy the Cary Grant character. Sound familiar?
“People Will Talk” may be considered a comedy of manners of the 1950’s and a companion piece to another, similarly-titled Cary Grant film, the lesser-known Frank Capra masterpiece “Talk of the Town.” Both are intelligent, thought-provoking, and thoroughly entertaining Hollywood gems.
Don’t forgot to check out the “typical farm family…” You’ll recognize the narrow-minded, cliche-ridden, hypocritical patriarch of the clan…
