East Side, West Side (1949)
Member Rating:  
Director Mervyn Leroy lends a burnished MGM gloss to this sordid tale of infidelity among rich New York East Siders. Barbara Stanwyck stars as Jessie Bourne, a charming society woman whose finds out that her husband Brandon (James Mason) is guiltily indulging in an illicit affair with the earthy Isobel Lorrison (Ava Gardner). Jessie bears her husband's indiscretion with a gallant dignity, and when Isabelle is killed, Jesse realizes that she doesn't care for Brandon anyway. Van Heflin is also on hand as ex-cop Mark Dwyer, who admires Jessie's stoic dignity. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Viewing a Barbara Stanwyck movie for the first time is fun. Who has a voice like that?! The supporting players headed by First Lady Nancy Reagan was a curiosity. Not at all deep but fun.

Any movie Barbara Stanwyck is in just HAS to be wonderful. I am a classic film buff and love dramatic films such a this one. This is a story of infidelity at it's best. And it ENDS like it should!!!

This is not a great film, but it is a must see for any classic film buff. The opening voice over by Stanwyck is so similar to Woody Allen's voiceover in "Manhattan" down to the quick clarinet riff...was this his inspiration? The cast is wonderful and there are a few scenes that I loved; the scene in the dress shop with Stanwyck and Cyd Charisse, and the "TipToe Inn, get it!"

Oh how I love Barbara Stanwyck! And she is wonderful in this great movie as the patient & forebearing wife of ladies' man James Mason ... Great story, great acting ... you'll enjoy it ... !

When the movie ended, I found myself wondering about the novel from which it came and wondering how much I was missing. It is fun seeing a very young Nancy Davis (later Reagan) in a sympathetic role.
