Movie review - "Kangaroo" (1952) **1/2 (re-watching)

 Random thoughts:

- looks gorgeous

- Lewis Milestone doesn't understand story

- Maureen O'Hara was right how the original script was wrecked - does this mean her other claims in her memoir were right? That John Ford made out with a guy? That her husband was murdered? That Peter Lawford and Richard Boone were busted in a male brothel?

- Lawford and Boone are dressed the same but Boone makes all the decisions

- why set this in 1900?

- opening scenes may has well have been shot in Hollywood because they take place at night

- fascinating mess.
