That Kind of Woman

That Kind of Woman

"That Kind of Woman" is a 1959 American drama film directed by Sidney Lumet, who was nominated for the Golden Berlin Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival. The screenplay by Walter Bernstein, based on a short story by Robert Lowry, is highly reminiscent of the 1938 film "The Shopworn Angel".

The film is set during World War II. Kay is a sophisticated Italian woman, the mistress of a Manhattan millionaire industrialist known simply as The Man, who uses her to help him influence his contacts at The Pentagon. While enroute from Miami to New York City by train, she and her friend Jane meet a considerably younger American paratrooper named Red and his sergeant George Kelly, and Kay and Red fall into a romantic relationship. Eventually the woman finds herself torn between her upscale life in a Sutton Place apartment and the prospect of true love with the GI.

The Paramount Pictures release was filmed on location in New York City.

Critical reception

In his review in the "New York Times", Bosley Crowther stated, "Walter Bernstein's screen play is a breezy, banal and bumptious thing, and Sidney Lumet has directed it with so many close-ups that it looks like a travesty of a "silent" style.
