Reviews for Tender Comrade

Review - Tender Comrade

Written by Dalton Trumbo, a Communist, who managed to get his "share alike" views into the film while also strongly supporting a war that Russia was fighting. The dialogue was cheesy. The "crises" were contrived. The ending was ridiculous -- no woman would react like that when hearing that her loved husband was killed. But most of all, the movie was just dull.
