Brama di vivere (1956)
Come visse, soffrì, amò e morì il pittore olandese Vincent Van Gogh (1853-90): 800 quadri in dieci anni. L'aderenza di Douglas al suo personaggio è impressionante e Quinn, premio Oscar, ha dato al suo Gauguin (non più di 8 minuti sullo schermo!) uno spicco indimenticabile. Interessante lavoro sul colore di Minnelli attraverso tre operatori (F.A. Young, R. Harlan, J. Ruttenberg). Basato su un libro (1935) di Irving Stone, sceneggiato da Norman Corwin.AUTORE LETTERARIO: Irving Stone
