- Although it is still tainted by the lukewarm reception it received on its initial release, The Great Sinner is a great film and deserves to be considered one of the classics of 1940s Hollywood. It has one or two flaws - it's slightly overlong and has an uncomfortably schmaltzy ending - but the direction, design and acting are impeccable.

I've heard this movie compared to The Lost Weekend, a movie about alcoholism, but I found The Great Sinner to be much more realistic in its portrayal of addiction. Greg's performance is fantastic, and it's great to see the contrast of how he was before he started gambling. As the movie continues, he becomes desperate, cruel, and self-loathing.

Support: Black and White. Runtime: 110 min. An in-depth review of the film The Great Sinner (1949) directed by Robert Siodmak, featuring Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Melvyn Douglas.
Review by ghlewmer ★★★. Dime store Dostoyevsky given the heavy-handed MGM sheen. Robert Siodmak valiant aesthetic contains intermittent bursts of inspiration amidst the never-ending dour of hastily re-written exposition. Woefully miscast Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner are rehabilitated via a strong supporting ensemble.
