- There's something not quite on target here
The performances by Dean Martin, Geraldine Page, and Wendy Hiller are all top-notch, and they make this movie a good rainy afternoon entertainment. There is also the beautiful black and white cinematography that always shows off New Orleans well. But as my title for this review suggests, this movie aspires to hit a target but misses. I don't know the original play, so I don't know if the problem lies in the censorship of the early 1960s that sometimes afflicted "spicey" plays making the transition to the screen. Given some of the movie's theme's, however, I wouldn't be surprised if part of the film's weakness stems from the facat that key plot and thematic developments were made obscure so as not to offend audiences of a more "sensitive" era.

Now to the problems. To begin ... Read More

- Something Else
I got to see this movie on Cable on Saturday evening by taping it, and yes, it was a good performance by Dean Martin. He was believeable. But Geraldine Page always took the cake and more. That lady knew she had her roles down pat. On one hand, I wanted to shake that young Yvette Mimeaux,and tell her to go and get some self esteem and a back bone. Always going behind her husband's back and believing any little thing folk told her. All in all, a good movie.

- Toys in the Attic film
Though I didn't see the play or read the screenplay of L. Hellman's "Toys in the Attic," I have just seen the video and was entranced by the performances of Geraldine Page, Dean Martin, and Wendy Hiller!! What a movie!! Ms. Page never disappointed her audience, and 21 years later gave her Oscar-winning performance in "The Trip to Bountiful." I didn't realize how wonderfully Dean Martin could handle a dramatic role...Wendy Hiller stoicly is the older, common-sense sister who survives all the dysfunction in the siblings..what a movie!! Ms. Mimeaux is quite good as well. In my retirement, I'm trying to see the movies I missed when our children were small...this one is a "keeper."

- PAGE AND HILLER ARE BRILLIANT...AS USUAL!!!
I LOVE THIS FILM! OF COURSE, I ADMIT, I'M PARTIAL TO 60'S FILMS ESPECIALLY GOOD OLD BLACK AND WHITE DRAMAS BUT PLEASE TAKE MY WORD ON THIS ONE...IF YOU ARE A GERALDINE PAGE FAN YOU CAN'T MISS THIS MOVIE!!! I'VE SAID IT BEFORE AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN, THIS WOMAN WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST ACTRESSES EVER TO GRACE A MOVIE CAMERA...SHE DOES MORE IN 10 SECONDS OF SCREEN TIME THAN MOST ACTRESSES DO IN MOVIE AFTER MOVIE...TAKE NOTE: MISS ROBERTS, MISS RYAN, MISS JOLIE, ETC.! DEAN MARTIN IS ALSO EXCELLENT AND THE DIVINE WENDY HILLER IS SIMPLY STUNNING AS USUAL!

- Too Much Love
Dean Martin stars as an irresponsible man trying to make his fortune, surrounded by sisters and a wife who love him so much, and in fact, probably too much. When he finally comes into money, it sets of a chain of events that leaves his family in shambles. Martin is good in his role, revealing what a capable actor he was. As his sisters, Geraldine Page and Wendy Hiller deliver their usual excellent performances. Page was especially adept at playing such complicated women, while Hiller quietly let's us in on all that her character is thinking. Yvette Mimieux does a good job as Martin's desperate young wife, and an older Gene Tierney is very good as her detached mother. The movie presents a controversial subject matter as frankly as they could probably get away with when it was made, and ... Read More
