THE PRIVATE AFFAIRS OF BEL AMI (1947): Acerbic but slow-moving and overly sanitized adaptation of an 1885 Guy de Maupassant novel about the rise and fall of perennial cad Georges Duroy (George Sanders), who becomes a prominent gossip columnist with the help of an old friend (John Carradine) and then marries the friend's widow (Ann Dvorak) — who's more or less writing his column — while spurning the love of another widow (Angela Lansbury) in his pursuit of power and position. There are about a half-dozen excellent scenes and some good supporting performances, but it goes on way too long and suffers badly from period censorship, culminating in a contrived tragic ending (not present in the book) where Georges sacrificially repents his wickedness. Paradoxically, making Georges less wicked than in the book also makes him more unpleasant to watch; only occasionally given the opportunity to be entertainingly ruthless, Sanders still makes Georges such a frosty, misanthropic (and misogynistic) asshole that it's hard to credit that he has any friends or lovers to betray. VERDICT: Has its moments, but Sanders is not very pleasant company, even for a movie that frankly describes itself as "The History of a Scoundrel."

Absolutely ridicilous that 'goofy girlypop character' isn't considered an autistic archetype when it's always followed by 'everybody thinks she's a huge weirdo for her attitude,her gender presentation stands out from other feminine female characters,she gets called a bimbo for not being good at academics but is actually one of the smartest in the media and she voluntarily dosen't follow social cues because she thinks they make zero sense'
