Beloved Infidel

a film by Henry King
based on a memoir by Sheilah Graham

Another CinemaScope film starring Deborah Kerr, sailing on another ocean liner to, surprise surprise, New York, New York. But if An Affair to Remember had the whole first half of decent comedy, no such luck here. Gregory Peck, at times, is pretty good as one F. Scott Fitzgerald, who must have been a thoroughly unpleasant type. I liked Kerr’s portrayal of a cool-as-a-cucumber Ms Graham — not a melodramatic Ms Graham as seen in the trailer.

Beloved Infidel (as Días sin vida) was a closing feature of the cycle 90 años de la 20th Century Fox organised by Asociación de Cine Vértigo.
