One Shocking Moment

Not that shocking, but watchable.

The film does keep you wondering what was going to happen next-that is if you keep watching in hopes you would eventfully figure it all out; unfortunately , turns out,there was little to no plot, which made it hard to understand the theme of the film. Additionally, there wasn't any character development, which made it difficult to understand what each charater's intentions. However, it wasn't that terrible.

Considering this was made it 1965 during the era of the Hays Codes there were several shocking moments in it. There is an overall out of date idea that boys will be boys concept in this film. With the old idea shining through it, it could feel dated, however, it seems to rather warn the audience. A warning of lustful desires and the harm they could cause.

This movie was exactly what I thought it would be. A husband that couldn’t keep it in his pants once he saw a beautiful women. I’m still trying to figuring out what the writer meant by “one shocking moment.”

3.5 A la par provocativo y explotativo, me gusta este cine rescatado por NWR que muestra distintas formas de explorar la sexualidad en una época en que era 100% tabú. De cualquier modo, resulta algo incongruente que una pareja en principio mostrada como muy progresiva y abierta termine encasillándose en el status quo. El final, más que un triunfo de la heteronormatividad se siente como un fracaso para la diversidad.

acting's pretty bad. owner of the club holds everything together. she's great. no one else is believable. decent story. dull direction for the most part--again, there's decent shots but average. overall watchable amidst many eye rolls. i think this is the only bynwr i haven't skipped half of.

This movie had its ups and downs. while there were a few moments that kept my attention such as the weird humor, for the most part the scenes were confusing. this was due to the film jumping from one thing to the next without there being any kind of filler in between. The characters were not developed in a way gained the audiences attention, such as a story would start, but not complete itself.

One Shocking Moment is essentially a soft core porn with a limited plot. The male lead tries to redeem himself at the end, but his overpowering misogany and infidelity make him unbearable. The leading woman is relatable and the entire movie I found myself cheering for her to leave him for the woman. But this was 1965 and homosexuality and divorce were frowned upon then. This classic movie isn't worth the watch.
