Good movie. Vicki (Grahame) is a normal house wife, whos life is boring-- until her brute of a husband (Crawford) kills the man who was having an affair with her, right in front of her very eyes. After the incident, hes mean to Vicki, so shes pursues an affair with a veteran (Ford). When they begin to fall in love,
Vicki asks him to kill her husband-- will he do it? Human Desire paired up Gloria Grahame and Glenn Ford again after the spectacular The Big Heat. Unfortunately, this movie did not match up to its predecessor, but it was still good. Both Ford and Grahame where great in their roles (even though she looked like a duck because of her botched plastic surgery), as well as the evil Broderick Crawford, who plays the villain perfectly. Usual noir director Fritz Lang did a great job too, and I felt like at this point, it would be impossible to make a bad movie. Besides the weak ending, Human Desire is a good watch that you will enjoy.
