Easy Living
Jacques Tourneur, Fearmaker
December 14, 2018 - January 3, 2019
Money, sex, and football: the three cornerstones of American life spell doom in Tourneur’s cynical, subversive anti-marriage melodrama, a Sirkian sports movie with a dark noir undercurrent.
Money, sex, and football: the three cornerstones of American life spell doom in Tourneur’s tough, subversive anti-marriage melodrama. Victor Mature is a star quarterback with a fatal heart condition who’s willing to risk death on the field to give his power-hungry wife (Lizabeth Scott) the life she wants, even as she pursues a sordid affair with a Wall Street sugar daddy. Co-starring Lucille Ball—who delivers some of the film’s most memorable moments as a hard-nosed working girl spouting world-weary cynicisms—Easy Living is a Sirkian sports movie with a dark noir undercurrent.
