Because of You (1952 film)
Because of You is a 1952 American drama romance film noir directed by Joseph Pevney and starred Loretta Young and Jeff Chandler.This film was surprising in that it showed a provocative "sexy side" of Miss Young, quite different from her usual dignified brunette "nice girl" part.Upon her release, Christine gets a job at a hospital, where she falls in love with wounded combat pilot Steve Kimberly, an architect from a good family.Once he got over his anger at his sister's subterfuge, he searched his soul to realize that he needs Christine as an equal partner to share his life and to help their daughter grow up to be a strong young woman.[3] In March 1952 Universal announced the film would star Loretta Young and be based on a script by Ketti Frings, produced by Albert Cohen and directed by Joseph Pevney.The New York Times said "The acting and direction are as soggy and artless as is the script, and the whole picture has the torpid limpness of movie drama on the lowest mental plane."[10] According to Loretta Young's biographer, "Because of You was a sleeper hit, a film that performs way beyond expectations and was held over a couple of weeks at the Roxy Theatre in New York.
