100+ Films of 1952

Film number 128: Big Jim McLain 

Release date: August 30th, 1952 

Studio: Warner Brothers 

Genre: noir thriller 

Director: Edward Ludwig 

Producer: Robert M. Fellows, John Wayne 

Actors: John Wayne, Nancy Olson, James Arness, Alan Napier 

Plot Summary: Jim McLain and Mal Baxter are working hard for HUAC, relentlessly and only somewhat constitutionally ferreting out Commies. Their latest assignment requires travel to Hawaii, where they chase a minor spy ring. 

My Rating (out of five stars): ** 

It's propaganda time! When the heroes of a film are Communist witch hunters working for HUAC, you know something is very wrong. Especially when those heroes are disdainful of the fact that their suspects are entitled to the protections in the Bill of Rights! Most of the time I either wanted to yell or laugh while watching this. 

The Good: 

Nancy Olson. Her presence is always both so warm and intelligent. I loved her in Sunset Boulevard, Pollyanna, and The Absent Minded Professor, and she was the only ray of light in the film for me. (I also loved hearing that she was a liberal Democrat who hated the script but agreed to do it only so she could travel to Hawaii and work with John Wayne. She thought the movie was so bad no one would go to see it!) 

Hans Conried. He’s a legendary character actor who appeared in almost every sitcom ever from the 1950s-1970s, and he cracked me up as an eccentric man totally off his rocker. 

There was some picturesque location footage all around Hawaii. 

The Bad: 

Where to start? How ‘bout that the good guys are HUAC?! 

John Wayne. I’m not a big fan, but I do find him effective in some movies. When he’s not a cowboy, though, he struggles more with dialogue, sounding extremely monotone and unnatural. When he had to smile and flirt with Nancy, it was almost painful. 

The two main investigator protagonists spoke with palpable rage that the 5th Amendment existed for more than just “good” Americans. Hearing a similar conversation about the Constitution in Walk East on Beacon two days ago, it was chilling to remember the forces in the country who didn’t understand why everyone is entitled to the rights enshrined in it. They wanted to pick and choose who got those rights. 

There were lots of stupid stereotypes of what Communists were. Professors? Intellectuals? People involved in Labor Unions? Impressionable college students? Check, check, check, and check! I’m surprised no famous artists, writers, or actors were in this movie, cause we sure know HUAC loved targeting them! 

The script was not very smooth- the plot zigged and zagged too much. It felt choppy and disjointed. 

Like Walk East on Beacon, this it was just too dry. Thrills or excitement barely occurred. There were a couple of fist fights? That was about it. 

The villains were not interesting. There were too many of them, they were hard to keep track of, and they were fairly nameless. 

On assignment in Hawaii supposedly doing important government business, Jim seemed to spend at least half his time dating Nancy! He was sitting in restaurants, dancing, and going for scenic drives with her as much as he was surveilling and investigating. 

The maniacally patriotic voice over at the beginning and end was so over the top, it was laughable. And supposedly it was only the Soviets who made propaganda??? 

There were so many ridiculous quotes! Here are a few I wrote down: 

“This is the hearing room of the House of Representatives Committee on Un-American Activities. We, the citizens of the United States of America, owe these our elected officials, a great debt. Undaunted by the vicious campaign of slander launched against them, they have staunchly continued their investigation pursuing their stated beliefs that anyone who continued to be a communist after 1945 is guilty of high treason.”

"I wanted to hit you, but now I see you're a little guy. That's the difference between us [Americans and Soviets]- we don't hit the little guy." 

 “After being a hard-working dedicated Communist for almost 11 years, I came to my senses and recognized Communism for what it is- a vast conspiracy to enslave the common man.”

2017 Movie Odyssey

So ends the 2017 Movie Odyssey. Last year, I wrote that I did not foresee ever surpassing the 200+ movie mark for a long, long time. But look what happened here (outside of May because that was a hectic time in the Master’s program for sure). The 2017 Movie Odyssey consisted of 232 films - 180 feature-length films and fifty-two shorts. A century of filmmaking was covered this year, from 1917 to 2017. If I do have one regret this year... it’s that African films were not featured this year (due to availability issues and me not having enough money; I tend to watch things legally if possible). I hope to assuage that next year for a more representative Movie Odyssey.

For all of you out there who supported the Movie Odyssey in your own ways – whether reading, liking, commenting, or reblogging a write-up or sitting down with me to a new movie or talking to me about any movie... my thanks to all of you. None of this possible without you, and I hope you find that, through this blog, classic movies seem more approachable and welcoming and you are inspired to see some and learn about them yourself. A Happy New Year to all, and I’ll see you for the 2018 leg of the Movie Odyssey very soon (oh boy the Winter Olympics and World Cup are gonna chip away at the final count next year)!

As many know, all ratings are based on my imdb rating and half-points are always rounded down. My interpretation of that ratings system can be found here. A 6/10 is considered the borderline between “passing” and “failing”. Feature-length narrative films, short films, and documentaries are rated within their respective spectrums.
