The Devil at 4 O'Clock

Here is one odd little film to say the least. A love romance, a redemption and a full out volcanic disaster flick all rolled into one. Director Mervyn LeRoy, who made THE BAD SEED which is one of my great faves, seems like he was out of focus here....perhaps the ol' chairman of the board was meddling in his work. Frank Sinatra is......well...Frank Sinatra though he has some great scenes with Spencer Tracy and the scene where he unknowlingly tries to seduce a blind island girl is amazing to watch. Kerwin Matthews, who we know and love as SINBAD in the 7th voyage is here as is the lovely Barbara Luna and a really cheesy volcano, looking like something from a junior high science fair, blows up real good.
