His best ones though I feel are his more dramatic moments near the end, but I don't quite feel the entirety of his work here is cohesive)<br /><br />McLaglen - 3.5(He more effectively goes big in playing a brash British soldier as he should. McLaglen measures his performance though in order to make the dramatic moments more naturally find themselves even within his blustery frame. It's an entertaining performance to be sure)<br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />No. Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-32397825145280842152016-03-10T21:07:00.071-05:002016-03-10T21:07:00.071-05:00Just got back from 10 Cloverfield Lane.

He does very well with the more dramatic elements of his character too by basically threading them through his usual charm in quite the effective way to suggest the mentality that a pilot must take)<br /><br />Rathbone - 4.5(A more than fine reprise for him)<br /><br />Powell - 4.5(The magic between him and Loy is still to be found, and he's as enjoyably sardonic as ever)<br /><br />Douglas - 3.5(I do think he's overshadowed a bit by Garbo's hilariously deadpan performance but he does facilitate that well through his sort of haphazard bumbling routine he does. He's charming enough that he works, though again Garbo's the film really.)<br /><br />Boyer - 3(Always find him a bit strange as a romantic lead I'll admit to begin with, he seems a better fit when he has a few alternative motives. Again he does seem a little cold here, and is overshadowed greatly by Dunne. I don't think he's genuinely bad as he does have some good moments with her in there) <br /><br />Power - 2.5(He has one really good moment near the end were James seems to reflect on his shortcomings for a moment. Unfortunately that's a brief moment where the rest of it is Power being his usual bland self that feels particularly underwhelming since the film is trying to establish some sort of personal descent)<br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />Yes Another Thin Man is good. I would not recommend it as highly as the first two, but it's still pretty entertaining due to Powell and Loy.
