this be an absolute hoot . it be one of the bad film i have ever see . the joy of see this film and other than the unintentionally hilarious dramatic moment and be to get a clear picture of the type of world that director todd haynes envision in far from heaven . barbara stanwyck and while possess a hot figure for a 50 year old woman ( at the time ) and be definitely push the border with her look . it be fascinate that studio head be still give her leading role but then and once you hear the line she have to say and you will come to the conclusion that she must have owe somebody something and because this film be absolutely atrocious . my own poor mother and who die of cancer and have enough energy to say and this one stink . probably the most exciting thing about this movie be the big kiss between barbara and raymond burr and both who be purport to be gay . it just excite to imagine them think and well and since we be get pay for this and let make it look good . poor sterling hayden be saddle with the bad line and all of them sound like they be write for a woman star in a bad b movie from the 1950s . which be oddly what this be . it be and i suppose and interesting to note that kathy ( barbara character and and the same name of the character that julianne moore play in far from heaven ) be not content to sit at home and bake pie . she be a rabble rouser and be go to stir up trouble no matter what . in one hysterically funny scene and kathy be a prisoner in her own home when her husband and the guy be play card on one side of the house and and their wife and the girl be gossip on the other side of the house and go on and on and on and on about cheese and olive . kathy and rightfully so and rush off to the bathroom say and i be sick . ditto and girlfriend . raymond burr be a wonderful perry mason and but in this film he deadly . but then and so be everybody else . it also seem strange that not a single couple ( of course all heterosexual ) in this film have a child . everyone be somewhere between 35 50 and no one have a child . i do not believe it . more fun can be have just by view a few vintage shot of los angeles in it 50 heyday . the script and a i mention before and be absolutely deadly and a laugh fest almost from start to end . barbara desperately try to rhythmically alter her line to imbue them with deep meaning and but when she stick with stupid and gushy conversation like and oh bill darling . it doesn not matter what she try to do to dress this garbage up . it stink . again and it a blast just to sit through and laugh at and and even if you get up 10 time to use the facility or grab some cold pizza and you would not have miss a thing . an absolute must for dateless friday when you do not care about be fat and lonely .
