Critic Reviews for Riptide
All Critics (4) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (3)
Riptide traces with meticulous care the path traced in a human being by the slow, poisonous growth of a terrific jealousy.
Some strictly tabloid exposures. Not Miss Shearer's best picture.
Gets wrapped up ever-tighter around one very small idea — the notion that a marriage requires much honesty and patience in order to work.
Routine Norma Shearer (wife of MGM producer Irving Thalberg) romantic love triangle melodrama.
Audience Reviews for Riptide
As I started to watch this film, I thought it was going to be a comedy. The characters of Marshall and Shearer meet for the first time dressed as insects. Shearer plays a woman who gives up her carefree New York lifestyle to marry the Lord (played stodgily by Marshall) and lives the sedate married life; until she runs into her ex (played by the ever-so-suave and charming Montgomery). It becomes a cloying melodrama with Shearer caught between two men who love her. It does liven up when Shearer and Montgomery are on-screen together, as they seem to shine together. They make the movie worth watching and save it from being too "soapy".
