Not perfect but pretty near close! THE RECKLESS MOMENT is so damn hard to see but then comes TCM to save the day again. Suburban mom Joan Bennett protects her slutty daughter from the world covering a murder in the process and getting involved with gangsters. James Mason nearly ruins it all but Max Ophuls constant camera movement adds to the frantic life of this woman. Even without the murder, how can she survive?

Enthralling little noir film and the first thing I've seen James Mason in where I haven't been mostly bemused by his acting. Also liked Ophuls' handling of confined spaces and crowds.

I think I saw this but was not impressed.

Thematically, OphÃ¼ls' last American picture is something like "The Desperate Hours", a film about dark forces insinuating themselves into an all-American household. In the hands of this director, more commonly associated with melodrama than noir, a greater emphasis is placed on the workings of that household (the source material was a short story printed in Ladies' Home Journal, and it shows) than on making sense of the Mason character.

Nice noirish murder yarn, James Mason was as reliable as ever with Joan Bennett being the maternal star, quality.
