PUNQ

Rated 01 Jan 2020

A Medal for Benny (1945) doesn't translate all that well with modern eyes. Characters a little too stereotype and one-dimensional to really grab the heart of this heartfelt attempt. One can appreciate what they were trying to do, for they do try. A bit weird J. Carrol Naish got a supporting Oscar nomination for this considering the countless other quality supporting roles he's had over the years. At least Dorothy Lamour came out of it largely undamaged.
