    "daisy kenyou" is another of those popularly cliched concepts on feministic romances in past cinema, always upon the issue of a woman's choice, stuck between two men in indecision. (in the same category, barbara stanwyck's "clash by night" is by far the best one..)

    briefly joa...( read more)n crawford is daisy kenyou who hesitates between the married cynic dana andrews and lovelorn idealist henry fonda. so she could have both in turns, troubled by the block of her own true wills. basically it's been developed upon some trivial psychological interactions blended with heavy dose of soap opera, even a well-carried one. after an accidental motorbile clash on the snowy road, she comes to realize what she really wants. the script is nothing refreshing but the whole flick gets sustained substantially with the three leads' pro-degreed performances.

    strangely the car-stumbling scene reminds me of elizabeth taylor's overrated "butterfield 8"...."daisy kenyou" seems to handle the assertion of woman's individualistic will of choices better than taylor's absurd demise in "butterfield 8"....at least "daisy kenyou" has been dubbed with a melodramatic decency to grant audience a replied answer instead of ceasing in the middle way bewilderingly without a conclusion. after all, daisy kenyou is earthily strengthful enough to survive to dignify this flick with a passable ending.
