'The Fugitive Kind' is just a bit too slow for me, I almost did enjoy it mind you. Marlon Brando and Anna Magnani are the stars and I did buy into their relationship by the conclusion; which, by the way, goes from 0 to 60 real quick! It is a solid ending though.
What precedes just meanders a little too much, for my liking at least. There were periods where I was locked on to events onscreen, though the down moments were quite noticeable too, unfortunately, and when all is said and done the latter probably outweighs the former.
