None But the Lonely Heart (1944 Clifford Odets & scr)

From a novel by Richard Llewelyn who like the Grant character had difficulties settling down (he also wrote How Green Was My Valley). Most unusual and interesting story and dialogue (Odets re-wrote The Sweet Smell of Success).

Odets was one who named names in the HUAC investigation. In fact they had already been given, by Elia Kazan, but he was still snubbed by many in the industry and found it increasingly difficult to write and get work thereafter.

Cary Grant, Ethel Barrymore (AA), Barry Fitzgerald, June Duprez, Jane Wyatt, George Coulouris, Dan Duryea, Konstantin Shayne.

Shot by George Barnes. Music by Bakaleinikoff (nom.), edited by Roland Gross (nom.). RKO.
