Reviews for Humoresque
Crawford and Haller make it into a dreamy wallow in velvety masochism.
Now a days regarded as camp, Jean Negulesco's melodramatic exploration of desire features Joan Crawford at her limited best, but the music played by Isaac Stern and lush score by Franz Waxman offer pleasure, and so do Garfield, the decor and costumes.
pot-boiler with Crawford chewing up the scenery; Garfield does his best to retain his dignity.
A turgid affair with John Garfield having to choose either socialite Joan Crawford or his bow strings.
