It might make for valid drama if Mr. Bosley Crowther. In this slow, strong, incisive film version of the book, The Pumpkin Eater ironing out of a well-kept wife's unkempt psyche is portrayed with harrowing perception by Anne Bancroft. Anne Bancroft is exceptionally good The role may sound conventional enough, but not as played by Bancroft; she adds a depth and understanding which puts it The Pumpkin Eater a higher plane. Variety Staff. Fine performances notwithstanding, the world of the Hampstead soap opera now seems so far away as to almost rate as science fiction. David Thompson. There are no easy answers here, no inadvertent banality, nothing off-key. Anne Bancroft gives a flawless performance. Joan Didion. Miss Bancroft's performance is in a class few besides Garbo and Ingrid Bergman have ever achieved on the screen. The Pumpkin Eater Edelman. The one spot of life was James Mason's performance as a lecherous philistine of surpassing nastiness. Dwight MacDonald. There's beautifully modulated direction from Jack Clayton and scriptwriter Harold Pinter's acidulent signature is all over it -- not to mention the influence of Michelangelo Antonioni. Adrian Turner. It's like a two-hour thunderstorm, with plenty of lightning but for some curious reason barely a drop of rain: that's to say no drop of mercy, no chance of organic growth, no final enlightenment. MFB Critics. This is a fine film, encompassing the joys and tragedies of life: birth and death, marriage and divorce, love and hate. The leads give their characters life. A depressing but well The Pumpkin Eater marital drama, earning Anne Bancroft an Oscar nod for playing a mother of eight children married to the philandering Peter Finch. Emanuel Levy. It's a marvelously written piece of junk that no matter how brilliantly penned never rises above its shallow soap opera roots. Dennis Schwartz. Top Box Office. More Top Movies Trailers.

Title: The Pumpkin Eater The children are spread over Jo's three marriages, with only the youngest being Jake's The Pumpkin Eater child, although he treats them all as his own. Jo left her second husband Giles Richard Johnson after meeting Giles' friend Jake, the two who were The Pumpkin Eater attracted to each other. Their upper middle class life The Pumpkin Eater much different than Giles and Jo's, who lived in a barn in the English countryside. But Jo is ruminating about her strained marriage to Jake, with issues on both sides. Jo suspects Jake of chronic The Pumpkin Eater, she only confronting him with her suspicions whenever evidence presents itself. And Jo's psychiatrist believes that Jo uses childbirth as a rationale for sex, which he believes she finds vulgar. These issues in combination have The Pumpkin Eater Jo in a fragile mental state. They both state that they love Written by Huggo. If "The Pumpkin Eater" has a fault it is that it's so glacial, so cocooned in its world of upper-middle class ennui it may leave you feeling a little drained. Otherwise, this is quite close to perfection. Adapted, superbly and to the extent that he makes it his own, from Penelope Mortimer's novel, by Harold Pinter it tells the story of Jo, Anne Bancrofta thrice married mother of several children, The Pumpkin Eater all three husbandswhose life has started to spectacularly unravel. Jo seems to be the kind of woman who can't stop having children but who doesn't seem cut out for motherhood. Inflicting her existing brood on Jake, Peter Finchhusband No. Jake is an incorrigible philanderer or maybe he just can't stand being at home with a pack of screaming, spoiled brats. Then again he's 'a screen-writer' so his profession offers both glamour and the opportunity for multiple infidelities. Things come to a head when Jo has a mental breakdown 'in Harrods of all places' to quote Jake. Being Pinter, the film is both elliptical and chilly. It's magnificently made, the director is Jack Claytonbut you struggle to feel anything for Jo or Jake. It's a world that Pinter and company know well but the rest of us may well feel we are being kept at a distance. But don't let that The Pumpkin Eater you off; if you want your mind engaged at the expense of your emotions you will have a high old time. This is classy, intelligent stuff. It is superbly cast and played. Some performances don't amount to more than cameos, Cedric Hardwicke and Alan Webb as Jo and Jake's fathers, Maggie Smith smilingly stealing Jo's husband right from under her nose and best of all, Yootha Joyce as the vindictive and unstable woman in the hairdressers. At the centre there is Bancroft and Finch as the couple struggling through their marriage and they are both marvelous. Finch, in particular, gives Jake an air of likability that may be absent from the script and Bancroft gets Jo's vulnerability spot on. As the husband of Jake's most recent conquest, James Mason is magnificently venomous and his scenes with Bancroft at the zoo and his final scene with Finch, 'You made me wet'are master-classes in the art of acting. The movie came out in and quickly disappeared. Watching it recently with a friend he described it as 'a miserable film' and while I think it a superb film, a near-masterpiece, I know exactly what he means. It is a film distinctly lacking in 'nice' characters The Pumpkin Eater it generates very little warmth. Audiences who, back in the sixties might have admired the film, were unlikely to feel anything towards it and consequently it is seldom revived. A pity because, cold as it is, it is also one of the finest films of its decade. Looking for something to watch?
