Review of Ten North Frederick

I discovered the movie while doing a search foe Diane Varsi films , and fell in love with it , especially the 25 minutes of serious adult romance involving Cooper and Parker . It's hard to find fault with the sequencing of events , the characterizations , the drama and the pathos ....everything fits together with little or no hint of contrivance . Of course current tastes often demand more action , more skin , a good dollop of vulgarity , with fine acting performances counting for far less than the ability to titillate the senses . But for those of us who appreciate fine acting , class and refinement on the screen , this gem must always stand as a classic , albeit a largely forgotten one . High Noon and Friendly Persuasion are now my second favorite Gary Cooper films .
