Watch This Is My Love For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Just as birds descended from dinosaurs, so the film noir of the forties morphed by the mid-fifties into the women's picture; the histrionics of the Technicolor 'Leave Her to Heaven' (1945) evolving into Douglas Sirk's throbbing fifties melodramas.Occasional additional forays into Technicolor along the way in crime dramas like 'Desert Fury' (1947) and 'Rope' (1948) gave hints as to the way colour could embellish thriller material; and the fuzzy Pathécolor employed on 'This Is My Love' - along with the incredibly stagy sets - draws us gradually into what initially seems to promise to be a rather bland romantic drama, but proves anything but. The presence of Dan Duryea warns us that peril lies ahead - and the fact that he's in a wheelchair, in which he proves a pretty nifty mover - simply heightens the pent-up menace he brings to his part. (And wouldn't you know it, he depends on medication administered by his long-suffering wife and sister-in-law to keep him alive?) Practically everybody in the film turns to be nursing bottled up emotions threatening destructively to burst their banks in true 50's style, and... but I won't spoil it for you. Worth seeing.

I have always been a Linda Darnell fan and this movie is her at her finest acting ability.I enjoyed this movie from beginning to end. It's a storyline that delves into the subject matter of heartbreak,infidelity, disappointment, and abuse. How many people are at a loss when dealing with life's complexities? It makes one think about about one's own shortcomings and vulnerabilities. I felt for her through out the movie considering everything she had gone through. It's been about 50 yrs. since I've seen it. Maybe I would see her role in a different light now.Great acting especially by Linda Darnell. At this point in her career it seems her movies ended. It was such a shame because she seemed to finally be cast in a role that could prove her ability. She was very talented and beautiful.It's too bad she was never appreciated for the great actress she was. I'm also a Dan Duryea fan and this role was made for him. His reputation for playing mean,angry,abusive men casts him in a role he sinks his teeth into. He is a very convincing actor who makes the plot come together. It was the first time I saw the actor Rick Jason and what a head turner. Also irresistible sex appeal. He was perfect in the role as a charming and handsome womanizer. The setting takes place in old Cali. The old diner gives you a sense of the Calif of back in the day. The romantic beach scenes also take one back to Calif before all the development. The channel on TV that shows old classics has a place on internet to vote for films, fans would like to see come out again. If you're interested go and vote for this one.

anyone know where i could get a copy of THIS IS MY LOVE . rick jason is great. he was lt. hanley in the COMBAT TV series. loved his voice. wonder why he did not become a bigger star, linda darnell was also a great actress and i read she died in a fire when she went in to get a child. wish that other rick jason stories were available as he not only could act well, he was very handsome. rick jason wrote in his autobiography that linda darnell was excellent to work with and played her role very well. rick jason is a fox in a henhouse. darnell and married sister both want him, and who can blame them. but this leads to trouble. tensions build and come to a climax, i especially liked jason taking darnell dancing. well worth seeing.

This is my love the love I thought would be These are my tears that you will never see..." an unheralded gem of a romantic melodrama. Not really noir - but not that far away either - and Linda Darnell is popping up this month... As soon as Franz Waxman's lush score swelled up over the credits I knew this one would deliver - and I wasn't disappointed. Vida (Linda Darnell) is a "spinster" who slings hash in her Brother in Law's diner and is engaged to the world's most boring man. Into the diner wanders her fiancée's army buddy - foxy Rick Jason - a "gas station casanova", and when left alone together Rick comes on to her... she plays hard to get - so hard to get in fact that Rick turns to her married sister Evelyn (Faith Domergue) for comfort, and the stage is set for resentment, deceit, adultery, jealousy, sibling rivalry.. and murder. This one really deserves to be better known. I'm not sure whether the lurid greens and purples that dominate the colour scheme are symbolic of the jealousy and anger simmering below the surface, and mark out Stuart Heisler as an neglected auteur... or it was just a lousy print. Connie Russell sings the tune with lyrics as Darnell and Jason go out dancing. Dan Duryea is a bitter cripple. and Darnell is absolutely heartbreaking here - never knew she had it in her. Its everything I wanted from Douglas Sirk or late period Minnelli and never got. Absolutely delicious from start to finish and highly recommended. 9/10 (on my fourth watch now in one week!)
