A Puzzling Film, 12 February 2006
7/10
Author: ccthemovieman-1 from Lockport, NY, United States

Two things were puzzling to me about this film: 1 - Why Blair's looks were constantly insulted in this film; 2 - How it won Best Picture Of the Year.

Blair was a good actress and very appealing. The fact she is described as a "dog" in this movie is ridiculous. The truth is, she was a very pretty (yes, in a plain way), wholesomely attractive woman. Hey, a lot of men, including me, would love to have a "dog" like that next to us.

Outside of that unfair description, the movie is filled with believable characters in a story that makes you reflect. Ernest Borgnine does very well in his touching role. His looks fit the part in here perfectly.

Was it worthy of the Academy's "Picture Of the Year?" Well, that's very debatable, but it's a pleasant enough film and the kind, frankly, I wish I would see more often.
