Review

  • I have always been a fan of Natalie Wood ever since I first saw Inside Daisy Clover and I was entranced by her big brown eyes and effortless joy in what was a sad movie. This is an interesting bioflic which tries to tackle her whole life and a littany of people,friends and lovers plus a good half hour devoted to a reasonable speculation of what may have occurred in her final moments. It is neither an in depth study nor is it big budget drama but it held my interest throughout in spite of being aware of most of the events that unfolded. However,at the end of the film (like some of your other commentators), I was more interested in working out who is "Roy Tremaine"?,the HUGE star who raped Natalie in 1955 or 1956.Hence, I have done some research and I think I know who.The film implies he was a reward recipient at the 1957 golden globes, and at the 1962 Academy award after-party we know Natalie firmly indicates she wouldn't be working with him again in this lifetime. The unwillingness of the film to more strongly imply his identity probably means he is still alive.Can you guess? As far as I know there was only one actor Natalie refused to work with for "personal" reasons .Are they one and the same? Anyway, I enjoyed the detective work.Justine Waddell;Well done!
