#1 Best Movie You Have Never Seen

Dodsworth





William Wyler's 1936 masterpiece gives us so much to consider, you are left wanting to watch the movie again, immediately.

Dodsworth is an extraordinarily brave and mature look at the decisions we all make in our lives. There are several, literally, cringe inducing scenes which spark feelings of deep resentment towards multiple characters. The easy road is constantly made available throughout this masterful script, but Wyler instead chooses to take another, the one most people go to the cinema to forget about.

Of course this is the essence of it's greatness. The fact he chooses to show the great fragility of human nature which allows us to spray perfume on an essentially dead carcass, because we have become accustomed to it's presence.

Walter Huston is magnificent as a recently-retired auto tycoon, not quite sure what to do with himself. And Ruth Chatterton is outstanding in the role of his wife, a woman thumbscrews are too good a punishment for.

Watch this movie with your lover and you will come out of the experience all the better for having done it together.
