Lonelyhearts (1958) aka "Miss Lonelyheart"
Monday, January 2, 2012 at 09:02PM Lately I've been more than a little obsessed with the lovely Myrna Loy. This 1958 fare, Lonelyhearts, Loy plays a browbeaten alcoholic with the smoldering Montgomery Clift as a manipulated newspaperman and introducing Maureen Stapleton as the requisite occupational distraction. Clift is an eager to please the boss and is assigned to write a column and becomes too deeply involved in the problems of his readers ultimately having to choose between his job loyalty and his girl. Stapleton was nominated for a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for her debut performance in this interesting adaptation of 1938s Nathanael West's book and Howard Teichmann's play. It also stars Dolores Hart, Robert Ryan and Jackie Coogan.
