[gambit]

Just got done watching it (yay, Netflix!), and I guess I'm not a big fan of this one. I was taken aback by how...archaic, for lack of a better term, this film is compared to films of today. It's not often you see a film that has one camera, and only one camera, focused on a scene nowadays, and the dialogue sounded unnatural. Granted, this movie was made in another era, but I'm not going to fall into the historical fallacy. I'll stick with my gut because I honestly got bored watching it. The acting was definitely good, and the story itself was well-written (although I'm still finding it hard to believe a newspaper columnist, basically a gossip columnist, has that much power, but maybe it was better established in the 50s), but I didn't care for this one.
