Review of Invitation

Breathing difficulties !!!! Fiddle-dee-dee. Whatever shall I do. I have breathing difficulties !!!!!!! Cripes, if you're going to make a film about an unmarry-able gimp whose daddy buys her a husband, at least have the courage to make the woman fat, or ugly or wheelchair-bound. Is there anything about Dorothy Maguire that says ''invalid"? If the 1950s weren't the most boring decade for Hollywood and America in general, I challenge anyone reading this to point out a viable challenger. It's fitting, at least, that in a bland film with such a bland premise that ultra-bland Van Johnson would play the husband. Good gawd this film represents everything that was wrong with the silver screen in 1952.
