Daily Cinema: Ruby Gentry
A history buff would have probably chosen 55 Days at Peking. Those who like religious films would have probably chosen Ben-Hur or The Greatest Story Ever Told. There were definitely some good candidates. However, I chose none of them and here's why. We are already watching the original Ben-Hur this week so although this would be a good time to compare since we'll be seeing both the original and this version in a short period of time, I didn't want to use a religious film for my daily selection when that was largely what Charlton Heston became known for. I would still recommend watching this version of Ben-Hur though; it'll give us some comparison notes during our TNT. I didn't select 55 Days at Peking simply because I didn't want to. LOL I wanted to use an underdog, something that wasn't quite as epic as the others I named or The Ten Commandments. I didn't want to choose this one at first; it reminded me a little of Duel in the Sun but I saw Karl Malden in the description and knew I had to see it. A very close runner-up was Bad for Each Other; I'll call it a tie. Bump it. Watch them both. LOL Ruby Gentry is about a woman who, despite her love for one man (Heston), marries another (Malden). I didn't know Jennifer Jones made a movie with either of these men, so to see both of them in the same movie with her should be good. If you'd rather watch Bad for Each Other, it's about a doctor who returns from the Korean War and has to make a decision between helping the rich or helping the poor. They're both good choices if you ask me. Here's the trailer for Ruby Gentry:
