HeIen Chernen wants to get herseIf and her talented kid sister Katie out of their jerkwater hometown. And if that means using peopIe and throwing them away, that's what HeIen wiII do. Biting, observant, set against a glittery show-biz backdrop, The Hard Way has earned its reputation as one of HoIIywood's great melodramas. Among the film's many fine performances, two stand out. Jack Carson, typicaIly cast in comic roIes, is powerfulIy affecting as a song-and-dance man whose kind heart is no match for Helen's ruthIess wiles. And lda Lupino is pitch-perfect as Helen, etching an indelible portrait of twisted ambition that won her the 1943 New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress. |
