Gene Tierney's a dreamy klepto in 1950's "Whirlpool"

Is that the grandmother of American tennis player Taylor Fritz?

Here is a HD free copy of "Whirlpool" to watch on YouTube. Enjoy the wackadoodle fun that is Whirlpool!

Despite the cast and the director this is not a good movie.

R1 Why?

Here's a HD trailer that sums up the plot of "Whirlpool" well...

I watched this yesterday, I liked it well-enough. Thank you for your suggestions.

I rewatched this a few months ago and have to agree about Ferrer. Tierney was captivating as usual but it's far from Preminger's best work.

I was unfamiliar with José Ferrer, but one quick glance at that trailer and I realized he had to be Miguel Ferrer's dad

And George Clooney’s uncle!

I too was disappointed with this movie and I love Tierney…she seems distant and distracted.

Tierney has been in some of the greatest all time classics. She's also been in some of the all time stinkers. This is one. Along with one of the worst movies I've ever seen: Tobacco Road. She can be forgiven though for her great beauty, her classics, and her work for mental health advocacy LONG before it was safe and fashionable. If she only did Leave Her to Heaven she would still be iconic.

R1 pathetic ripoff of my insightful post on the Gays and Tennis thread.

Write your own material, please. I may be forced to seek a legal remedy under federal law.

R4. Because of my witty and insightful observation in the Gays and Tennis thread. That’s why.

R8 your post is so whack. On both counts: how the fuck didn’t you know these things…

R12/R13/R15, I assumed you were the OP of this thread given that it appeared about an hour after your Gays and Tennis post hence my tongue in cheek post at R1 of this thread.

I was not the Op— thank you, though.

R10 wouldn’t you be, trapped in a Puerto Rican Whirlpool and all?!

Loved her in Leave Her to Heaven.

Gene Tierney was great looking and had the star quality, etc. but most of her acting was mediocre. Her part in The Razor's Edge is one of her worst performances. She was perfect in Laura. I thought she was pretty good in Leave Her To Heaven but I don't love that one the way some do.

The thing with Gene though is her great roles were like they were written for her. Could you imagine anyone else in Leave Her to Heaven? Laura? The Ghost and Mrs. Muir? Heaven Can Wait? The Mating Season? She really didn't act, and I know it can be a subtle difference, she became her part and/or the part became her. The contract they gave her when she first started, well I've never seen an actress get a nice deal like she got. As you can see I absolutely love her. My three favorite actresses: Gene Tierney, Jean Arthur, and Barbara Stanwyck.

Hope Lange did it better

HI, HOPE!

Joseph L. Mankiewicz originally wanted to have Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn in The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

That’s dumb

Still gorgeous even with that prison matron hairdo. Some fifties hairstyles were so severe.

Good thing he didn't get his wish.
