One of the greatest films of the thirties.
Some years ago, I read a short piece in TV Guide by the critic and screenwriter Jay Cocks, in which he listed ten ‘great, underrated films’. One which I had never heard of before was Dodsworth.I trust Jays taste in films, so i decided to take a lot at it. I promptly saw it on Video and was enthralled.Once more, William Wyler reveals why he has to be ranked among the great Hollywood directors. Dodsworth is that rarity, a film for adult people. In addition, it boasts a literate script, fine acting by an superb cast, and an very fine design. One of the favorite themes of the fiction of Henry James,. the conflict between American innocence and European sophistication, is here explored with a concision and an empathy James only occasionally managed. In addition, the film is a profoundly moving love story. One can only wonder why this exquisite movie was not even nominated for the AFI list of great American films.

Mr. and Mrs. Dodsworth at Odds
Walter Huston (as Sam Dodsworth) and Ruth Chatterton (as his wife, Fran) are beginning their wedded “golden years” by taking a trip to Europe, as their daughter begins her own marriage. It’s fairly obvious, early on, that Mr. Dodsworth loves Mrs. Dodsworth; and, probably, he feels the European trip will enable the married couple to renew their relationship – and grow closer, before growing old, together. It is also very clear, early on, that Mrs. Dodsworth is not “on board”; in fact, her behavior is startlingly selfish and destructive.

Mr. Huston and Ms. Chatterton perform very well as the Dodsworths. “Dodsworth” is a film to watch for performances, and they are very effective. Their characterizations are full enough for viewers to get an ever clearer picture of the Dodsworth marriage, as the film progresses. Chatterton, of course, participates in the unraveling, while Huston works for preserving of their marriage.

Fran Dodsworth is a complicated part; and, it is certainly a most unflattering choice of role for an actress in the 1930s – this is probably a courageous role for Ruth Chatterton to accept, for the time. Of the supporting players, Mary Astor stands out as Mr. Huston’s potential “other woman” – the scene where Chatterton and Ms. Astor meet should not be missed; watch the two actress’ faces and listen to the tone of their voices, for an extremely well-acted scene. William Wyler expertly directed the drama.
