Lonelyhearts from 1958 with Montgomery Clift, Robert Ryan, Dolores Hart, Myrna Loy and Jean Stapleton Depressing movies make an implicit bargain with the viewer: the story, the moral, the lesson, the artistry, or something - or all of them - will make this sad journey worth the effort...- Fading Fast
