Summer Storm (1944)
7/10
LInda Darnell's successful career turning point
22 April 2021
After serving loyally 20th century-fox as support to its main leading men for some years ,and mainly Tyrone Power,Linda was given to play this first bad girl role,after having played many nice girls. She did an exceptional job with it,her girl part who uses her beauty as a weapon to get what she wants, is alarmingly realistic mainly because she looks the part,she is breathtakingly beautiful and you feel sorry for anyone who would fall in her path. Linda followed this with several other bad girls,and turned her career to a new direction. As a movie its an ok drama,i have to object they used Horton who does his usual comedic routine which doesnt really fit with the rest of the movie all other characters are strictly dramatic. Other than that the center of the movie is Darnells character,and the star pretty much shines here.
