Born to Be Bad is quite watchable, given that Ryan has way less screen time than Joan Fontaine, and maybe Zachary Scott and Joan Leslie too. No lost classic.

Born to be Bad and A Woman's Secret are airing on TCM on Oct. 4th.

"Cinema is Nicholas Ray..." But since I learned that his wife had an affair with his 13 year old son it is now what I always think of when I think of Nicholas Ray. Gloria Grahame is one of my favorite actresses. That was pretty screwed up.
I have yet to watch a Nicholas Ray film that doesn't become a favorite. A Woman's Secret is probably my least favorite but I loved the look of that film and the story and of course Grahame.

Gloria Grahame later married the son, btw. (He wasn't hers!)

Just got done with Party Girl, Ray's last proper studio effort. A retro-gangster film with noir undertones, ultra-lavish production values, and Cyd Charisse very nearly ruining the day with monotone line readings in "Sultry Schoolmarm" mode. However once the film locks in, you don't care as much (two Charisse dance solos, which push code standards for teh sexy, help).

Does Ray actually get a directorial credit on 'Lightning Over Water' (I've never seen it)?
wenders sez in the commentary that ray was 'directing' whenever wim was on screen (& vice versa) but idk
it's worth seeing tho ray is so frail & kinda hazy from painkillers in a lot of it; in a weird way it struck me as similar to synecdoche, ny
