    Good Story and Good Acting

    I applaud any movie that has a lot of dramatic incidents but doesn't spill over into melodrama. This is one that fits the bill! Between the alcoholism, unhappy marriages, potential adulterous affairs, town scandals, and a murder trial, it was never overdone or overacted. There are a lot of familiar faces here (Cornell Wilde, Anne Baxter, Kirk Douglas, Linda Darnell, Ann Dvorak, barton MacLane) and they all play their parts well.

    Anyone would want to see these walls of Jericho come tumbling down ("Where are you, Joshua?"), ones that keep you in a bad marriage, make you the victim of vicious gossip, and keep you from someone you love.

    The ending is left rather ambiguous, as the way it's shown, you're not quite sure if it's going to be happy or sad. I'm opting for happy!

    Complex and rather adult for the time.

    If you like watching movies that are easy to predict and formulaic...well, this film is not for you! The plot has many unusual twists and turns and it's one of the more unusual Hollywood films of the era.

    The story is set in the town of Jericho. Dave Connors (Cornell Wilde) is a very decent man...working hard as a county prosecutor. And, he's easy to like and you find yourself rooting for the guy. The problem is that he's married to a nasty drunk (Ann Dvorak), but he makes the best of it. Even when an old lady friend of his returns to town and she clearly is in love with him and vice-versa, he resists the urge and avoids the woman because he is a faithful, decent man. In addition to this lady coming back to Jericho, an old friend (Kirk Douglas) comes with his gorgeous wife (Linda Darnell)...and she, also, seems very interested in Dave. So where is this all going to end? I bet you couldn't predict it in your lifetime unless you see the film!

    I give this film high marks for originality and acting. While Wilde never rose to the upper echelons of actors, he was excellent here...as was everyone. An interesting and often overlooked film from Twentieth Century-Fox that deserves to be seen.

    Soapy, small-town scandals

    If you like small-town scandals, like Peyton Place, go out and rent The Walls of Jericho, an aptly titled old classic starring Cornel Wilde, Linda Darnell, Kirk Douglas, Anne Baxter, and Ann Dvorak.

    Cornel is in a rut, with his career and his marriage to Ann. His married pals Kirk and Linda have more energy and ambition than him, but they aren't perfect either. Linda has a crush on Cornel, but he still harbors feelings for Anne, a childhood sweetheart. Linda gets upset and insulted, and she makes it her mission to seek revenge on Cornel. Kirk plays the innocent stooge in this one, rather than the villain he played so often in later years, so if you want to see him in a sweet role, you've got to find him in a late-1940s movie.

    This isn't the greatest small-town movie, but it certainly is entertaining. It's nice and soapy, with lots of melodrama, angry women in beautiful gowns, innocent men getting made fools of, and over-the-top courtroom scenes. You'll also see Marjorie Rambeau, Henry Hull, and Barton MacLane in the supporting cast.

    Better-than-average soap opera set in turn-of-the-century Kansas

    Cornel Wilde is a county attorney married to alcoholic Ann Dvorak. Wilde's best friend is firebrand newspaper editor Kirk Douglas. Kirk returns to town after a lengthy trip with new bride Linda Darnell in tow. She's a gorgeous society lady who immediately takes a liking to Cornel, but those affections aren't returned by the stoic Wilde. Linda doesn't appreciate the rebuff and sets out to undermine Cornel in any way she can, pushing him away from his friendship with Douglas, and even sabotaging his nascent political career. Cornel is also falling for nice-girl attorney Anne Baxter, but they won't consummate their affair due to Cornel's marriage.

    This was based on a novel by Paul Wellman, and it has that slightly clunky feel of a larger work having been whittled down to fit a feature-length script. Certain secondary characters, like those of Henry Hull and Marjorie Rambeau, don't amount to much in the finished work. That being said, I liked this more than most soapy dramas of the time, and all of the leads turn in excellent work. Darnell gives one of her best performances as the scheming manipulator. She's sporting lighter-than-usual hair (blonde? redhead? It's B&W), but she's still beautiful. Dvorak's role is complicated, and while it's smaller than the others, it, too, is one of her best. Wilde is broad-shouldered and quietly dignified, and Douglas, in only his second film, does what he can with a slightly secondary part.

    A Quiet Manipulator

    The Walls Of Jericho finds both Cornel Wilde and Kirk Douglas as ambitious men and best friends who become estranged due to the behavior of their wives Ann Dvorak and Linda Darnell. Dvorak is an alcoholic and Darnell is a manipulator. The one thing that Darnell could not manipulate was an affair with Wilde who turned her down flat because of his friendship with Douglas. That sends Darnell into a quiet rage and her manipulations of people and events drives the film after that.

    Also in the picture is Anne Baxter a female attorney in the ragtime era when such people were a rarity. She's the daughter of Henry Hull who was an attorney who Wilde admires, but who has fallen on bad times. She and Wilde hit it off professionally and personally, but when it looks like an affair might be in the offing, Baxter moves away.

    However the arrest of young Colleen Townsend brings Wilde and Baxter together professionally. Townsend is charged with murdering town tough Barton MacLane and it will take some good lawyering to get her off. But that brings Darnell out who sees Wilde once again as a threat to her husband who is now a Congressman. And of course there's that ever present itch that Wilde has never scratched for her.

    The Walls Of Jericho is a ragtime soap opera set in the Roosevelt-Taft era. The choice roles in this definitely are for the females with Darnell, Baxter, and Dvorak all making themselves memorable. In fact Baxter gets a chance at what is normally a male prerogative in the cinema, she gets to make a closing argument before a jury.

    For reasons I don't understand this film is rarely seen and that does a disservice to the female cast members. This contains some of the best work any of the three leading ladies have done, especially Baxter. It will be a revelation if you get the chance to see this.
