Bening is able to capture the ragged desperation and sultriness Grahame exhibited both in her work and her life.
The film is far too interested in making Turner the center of this story.
Here are five films that seared Grahame into the imagination of Americans during the mid-20th century.
Grahame plays Irene Neves, Lesters devious ex he reconnects with to plan Myras murder and claim her fortune.
Irene is greedy, vindictive, lustful, and brazenly manipulative.
She plays Ginny as a woman refusing to bend to the world in ways expected of her.
The heart of the film is undoubtedly Gloria Grahame in her most wounded and potent performance.
She plays Laurel Gray, a struggling actress who falls for Bogarts troubled screenwriter, Dixon Steele.
