  • Whirlpool is a 1950 American film noir thriller directed by Otto Preminger and written by Ben Hecht and Andrew Solt, adapted from the 1946 novel Methinks the Lady... by Guy Endore. The film stars Gene Tierney, Richard Conte, José Ferrer and Charles Bickford, and features Constance Collier in her final film role. Its plot follows the insomniac wife of a wealthy Los Angeles psychoanalyst who, after a chance meeting with a hypnotist, is charged with a violent murder.
    Owing to anti-British statements screenwriter Hecht had made in the recent past concerning the United Kingdom's involvement in Israel, prints of the film initially circulated in the country replaced his credit with the pseudonym Lester Barstow.

    I used to watch these movies with my mom as a kid, usually after school, sitting in front of our b&w TV with the rabbit ears. They'd come on a program called The Early Show, these 50s-era films that featured women whose wardrobes featured a lot of evening gowns for parties & nightclubbing. I really thought (I was 10) this was how my life would be as an adult: I'd grow up to move to NYC, work as a secretary, rent an apt with roommates, & go out dancing after work where one day I'd meet my future husband...Spencer Tracy or Cary Grant. Funny how these films could suggest a lifestyle to a little Negro girl from Chicago whose dad was a bus driver and whose mom was a housewife and artist. But I loved these films. This is the first time I've seen Whirlpool. The story unfortunately collapses in the 3rd act but, on the whole, it's still entertaining. Gene Tierney's most memorable roles--The Razor's Edge, Laura--are still favorites of mine. I did grow up & move to NYC, not for a secretarial job but to attend NYU grad school. I didn't own any evening gowns--just jeans & t-shirts. By the 70s, life had changed.

      @@CLT51154 you're talking to a huge fan of Project Runway. I admire the creativity and skill set of those who sew & design fashion. Way back in the day, girls were required to take courses in the "domestic arts" in junior high--cooking & sewing. Gosh,I remember how tough it was just to learn how to thread & operate the sewing machine! Although it was a struggle, I did manage to make an apron, then onto using a pattern to make a fashionable top. That was the last and only time i sewed anything. But for many women in my family, making their clothes--skirts, dresses, prom dresses--was the best way to dress affordably. I'd like to see a photo of the Prada coat.

      ♥️I love this comment. I watched these 1950s films as a little girl with my grandma, in socialist Yugoslavia that was falling apart at the time, the 1990s. And I, too, imagined I would grow up and that that's what my adult life would look like, and that I would get to wear those beautiful feminine gowns, and more importantly, do those lovely romantic things.
      I, too, regret that the world had changed so much, and for the worse, from the 1970s onwards.
      I did manage to score "the next best thing".
      My husband. Born in late 1970s Paris, he, too, watched a lot of these old American movies with his own grandparents. And he is the kindest, most well-raised, gentleman-like, 1950s style old-fashioned person I've ever met. In 2010s Paris, of all places, where people are nothing but egotistical and rude and engage in all sorts of immoral behavior.
      We're definitely going to have kids watch the 1950s movies with us, because it certainly does something to a young person's psyche that we want for the world's future generation.

    As a child I discovered a jazz station on my radio in my room. At night the jazz music stopped and old radio shows came on, including old commercials in the place where regular commercials would go between shows. Bob and Ray, part of their show was a soap opera where Bob and ray played all the characters. The sound effects were great and the show was hysterical. Burns and Allen which was also very funny. I can’t remember what else because I was probably 14. It went on for hours and I fell asleep to it. When I woke up in the morning I was very disappointed that I woke up in normal reality and not in the reality that was portrayed in the radio shows. These were on every Sunday I believeAnd shaped my childhood forever. I began watching old movies I knew many actors my grandparents knew. I’m very disappointed my son does not know who any actors from the 30s 40s and 50s are. But I will always love Bob and Ray, And burns and Allen, and the old soap commercials From the radio. When I was older I looked into how they made the sound Effects On the radio and it was genius.

    Getting hooked on films from the 1940s and 1950s, including the B movies, but this one is superb and so gorgeous to look at with the elegant clothes, interiors and cars. Gene Tierney is excellent in this film, she is so beautiful too and her face reminds me of my late mother in her younger days. David is such a creepy character, brilliantly played. Richard Conte was a fine actor too who was only 65 when he died of a heart attack in 1975. I also like the actor playing the police detective. Although the plot is a bit hard to believe, it still works and the tension builds throughout. Glad I watched it and also fascinating to read about Gene Tierney online, never knew that she had severe depression, or that she had had a brief fling with JFK in 1946.

      @Alexis Valere I totally agree about the sets. The houses and, especially the apartment layouts/decor from the 40s, 50s movies were just as great as the wardrobes. Even in the apartments that were supposed to be of low and middle income characters. Have you noticed the layouts of the apartments/houses for the 1940s-50s films: Laura, Rear Window, How To Murder My Wife (my favorite), Indiscreet, How To Marry A Millionaire, Designing Woman...? And the offices in Sabrina - to name a few... I know I'm forgetting a lot of other ones. .
      Sometimes I'll rewind and pause scenes just to get a better view of the sets and decor and see if the layouts are realistic architecturally. I used to (still do) image myself living in them especially ones that had a room/space that could be my studio.

    Otto Preminger never disappoints! Gene Tierney's acting was top notch (especially when conveying a dazed hypnotic state), the wardrobe was chic and gorgeous (especially for the ladies' party dresses), and the suspenseful conspiracy plot was filled to the brim with clever manipulation ploys (I legitimately thought to myself "ohhh, so _that's_ what he did that for!" several times throughout the film).

They just don't make them like this anymore.
