Films I've Viewed
- The Bribe (1949) - Robert Taylor (Rigby), Ava Gardner (Elizabeth Hintten), Charles Laughton (J.J. Bealer), Vincent Price (Carwood), John Hodiak (Tigwell "Tug" Hintten). Taylor plays a cop, sent to find a group of people smuggling airplane motors and selling them illegally. Ava is a down on her luck singer in a seedy nightclub, torn between her attraction to Rigby and her devotion to her shady, dying husband. Elizabeth's husband is part of the gang, so if he does anything it will hurt her. Robert Taylor is divine. One of my favorite leading men. Ava played the sultry singer well. I don't think she was worth the trouble, but then, Ava is not one of my favorite actresses. Charles Laughton and Vincent Price were fabulous as the bad guys. Their portrayals were worth the film alone. Well worth the view.
