Apartment For Peggy: Review

starstarstarstar
A heartwarming film concerning the adjustment of WW II vet Holden and his young wife, Crain, and their search for values and roots in the turbulent, avaricious boom years of the late 1940s. Seaton's subtle direction depicts the young couple's everyday struggles in dealing with trailer life, laundromats, and store bargains. All the while Holden attempts to get through college on the GI Bill and find a decent place for his wife to live. Crain finds an old college professor, Gwenn, living alone in a large house depressed, thinking of suicide; he has come to believe that his life is over, that the ideals and noble purposes of the past have been forgotten. She convinces him to rent his attic to her and hubby and both turn the place into a cozy apartment. Their positive, optimistic views and natural ebullience revitalize Gwenn who decides to fill his remaining years with constructive work. A superior film, thanks to Seaton's deft direction and a script which testitifies to the magnificence of the human heart, one that also indicts the slimy postwar profiteers. A significant role for Holden in that it brought him high praise from critics, establishing him as a solid lead. Gwenn, who had just triumphed in the classic MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET, which Seaton had also directed, was never more touching or memorable. leave a comment
