The Great Moment

January 25th 2012 22:54
(1944) Joel McCrea, Betty Field, Harry Carey, William Demarest. Dir: Preston Sturges.
Review No:489
The Great Moment 50 Word Film Review

Biopic about William Morton, who discovered ether as an anaesthetic but had to fight to prove it. A film taken out its creator’s hands (Sturges wouldn’t have permitted such a dull title). Yet the balance between serious drama and farce is uneasy, and fails to drum up much dramatic tension.
