Movie #699 .........................."The Other Love"

Movie #699 "The Other Love" --- caught this on TCM on Barbara Stanwyck day, and I noticed it had David Nivens in it and he's one of my favorites, so I sat down to watch it while I ordered Christmas gifts from catalogues. The movie deals with wanting to be free, but sometimes due to whom you love, or the illnesses you have, or whatever gets in the way, you have to settle for something else. Faced with the possibility of her own death very soon, Barbara wants to strike out and just "live" what she has left, trying to forget that time is creeping up on her, little by little. She's such an excellent actress that she is able to go through all the inner conflicts this concert pianist would go through with a disease cutting her life/career so short. It was fun to see a different kind of love story ---- one from afar, one that matures from doctor-patient to something so much more. I give it 3.4 out of 5 stars The Other Love1947 92 minutes Concert pianist Karen Duncan (Barbara Stanwyck) is admitted to a Swiss sanatorium to recover from a serious illness. There she feels the romantic magnetism of Dr. Anthony Stanton (David Niven), who warns her of the potentially fatal dangers of not resting completely. Despite these warnings, Duncan flees to Monte Carlo in the company of playboy racecar driver Paul Clermont (Richard Conte), who just might be all the medicine she needs.
