There Was a Crooked Man . . …
January 14, 2010 | |
There Was a Twisted Man . . . has a crooked find that is neither comedy nor convincing drama. Kirk Douglas, Henry Fonda, Hume Cronyn, Warren Oates and Burgess Meredith are the onerous elements that don’t congeal in this picaresque tale set in a chilly western desert jug. It is the type of fight drama in which neither the actors nor director appear to accept the handwriting or characters.
Douglas is the crooked man of title who steals $500,000 from Arthur O’Connell and is caught in a bordello literally with his pants down when voyeur O’Connell recognizes him through the peephole.
Fonda plays it straight as the saintly sheriff who becomes an idealistic prison reformer, only to have his principles literally blow up in his face when Douglas organizes a riot and break-out.
