Human Desire Ratings & Reviews

  • Mister ArnMay 20, 2025
    "Human Desire" has good visuals and a great script, but its two female leads are miscast. The femme fatale played by Gloria Grahame and the ending both hold this film back.

    Rewatched after a long break. Love Grahame and Crawford in this. Now if Ford wasn't in it and they cut out that inappropriate teenage girl with the tightest sweater ever then you'd have a great film. Lang's direction is workman like but flat.
