Studio One in Hollywood: There Was a Crooked Man (1950)

One Must Nibble Cheese of This Nature


Mr. Otis nibbles the cheese and that is what you will do watching this cheesy episode. It's bloody awful! The overacting is not even funny enough to poke fun at - it's cringe worthy. And this story, it's lame.

Bloopers aren't even funny either: In the beginning, the older man sitting on the bench and the boy with the ball... when the man stands up and turns around we see a chalk drawing on the wall where he was leaning back and the chalk on his coat - the drawing was in the same direction - which is not the way it really would be if he had gotten it on his coat.

And the screaming of the lines - there is a fine line between speak up or loud taking so the microphone can catch your voice and simply shouting/screaming. Over half of the cast is screaming their lines half of the time. Very annoying.

1/10
