Despite all the efforts to make the scene dramatic, it comes off as kind of bland, and maybe a little silly. First, the scene has no context. That hurts. It's sort of static in terms of camera work too. But maybe the scene's biggest shortcoming is that both actors are portraying the same angry-hurt emotion. If one character were quieter, or more shy than the other there would be more contrast and it would come off as a better dramatic scene. Just my opinion.
The scene works as a single take. There is no real call or sense for cutting to Close-Ups since the camera follows and recomposes along with the actors. To this, the skill of the Camera Assistant should be credited for his ability to move with the actors with fluidity. The problem is with some of the blocking--too much profile staging, and the lighting. Too much of Mary Ann Mobley's actions are lost in shadows on the left of her face.
Nick Adams was a terrific actor. I also feel he's underrated, and he's one of my favorites. I believe this film is Young Dillinger. I hope it's released on DVD.
I beg to differ, its not the acting, its the one-camera lack of multi-angle editing. Without that even today's actors would get this same effect. You should notice that with today's editing, the editor will do a good job of making a scene last long enough before the point of non-believability and then switch out away from the angle. Today's actors would ask for line coach in a heartbeat and would not be expected to go through this long of a scene all at once. Blame the director for this.
@blackdiamondrider i wouln't really blame the director. It should be like this, with all the camera cutting angles the actors never HAVE to learn how to act properly. Essentially its a de-evolution. Actors get it too fucking easy nowadays, thats why there hasn't been a classic movie for more than 15 years.
@fangirl4eva1 Your Obviously a dumb ass because i can name a bunch of films that came out in 1940's that were excellent, well- made films. You probably haven't seen many. I suggest you watch more before you go making dumb comments dummy!
"Because you don't have the GUTS to live life like a real man." How I long for dialogue like that. I agree with those who thumbs up Nick A. and thumbs down the woman. Though I think she's got potential. Probaby didn't have much in the way of direction in this scene.
Nick Adams was a great underrater actor who put 100 percent into most of his roles. Sometimes the stories they write for actors might not be the best but if you really watch everything Nick does, he really has alot of love for acting and It's too bad no one wanted to give him a good chance and that his life was cut short. Rock on Adams
Bad acting?????? You're crazy!!!! That's Mary Ann Mobley Miss America. I'm still in love with her. Nick just has PTSD from the Civil War. He should turn himself in. I'm with you elc1960
Nick Adams isn't that bad in this clip. The script is awful, and this has to be from very early in Mary Ann Mobley's career, because she became much better. Never world class, but OK. This has to be a very low budget movie because the scene was shot in one take with only one camera and no close-ups, which would have helped with dramatic effect. You wanna see bad acting? Watch David Caruso on "CSI: Miami". THAT'S a bad actor!
I agree with youtubematt1. Being that they got this in one take says a lot. I Don't know if they get shit in one take today? This is old school acting, TV back then it was 10 or a Hundred times better. Today there is shit. I agree with those who said this is NOT BAD. JMachinder...Did you go to College? Did you take Motion Picture Critique? Motion Picture Writing? Did you go to film school? Do you know anything about film?
This is a "B" movies they were entertaining but not top caliber. Even still alot of us that were young then wouldn't have known it all we wanted to do was see a movie
Forget the acting, you can see EXTRA SHADOWS from what it appears crew men walking around in the back ground in the bottom right side of the bed at 3:11 and till the end of the clip
Not good, but FAR from the worst. You wanna see bad acting? Try "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies" (yes, that's the title). One of the worst movies ever made. It's from 1963 or 1964, and was an attempt at a combination horror movie/rock 'n' roll musical. Dreadful. Absolutely dreadful.
Far from bad acting. Bad directing and writing (and nonexistent scoring and editing), but decent acting.
If they'd tightened up the script first, then shot more than one take and edited the best angles and reaction shots together, it could have been awesome. It's amazing what good editing can do. Add the right music, and you've really got something.
I liked this. It's funny because as a stage scene this would have been awesome. You can see how television and stage really don't mix. They are over acting a bit but for stage you really have to exaggerate each emotion and physicality to project it properly to every seat from the stage. I like this and enjoyed it.
@charvesa This was not a Johnny Yuma "The Rebel" episode......nowhere does it say that. It was from another TV show that Nick Adams was in.... Notice her clothes aren't "era correct" either. The coincidence is that his name is "Johnny" in both shows.
this is actually pretty decent acting. some parts done by the girl seemed like she was trying to remember her lines, but the acting was good.. ive seen WAY worse. trust me...
Where is the bad acting? This is great acting. It was all shot in one continuous take too. No cuts. All 3:50 of dialogue memorized. This is fantastic.
i dont get it, whats so bad about it apart from a wife and a kids? i saw her smile at certin times when they were fighting but i thought its because she crazy since she was laughing then went to crying.
WTF??? Nick Adams as John Dillinger? They looked absolutely NOTHING alike. Mary Ann Mobley thanks goodness did go on to better acting roles where she showed she indeed had skill...as her fans know, she later went on to have a long & happy marriage to actor/TV host Gary Collins. I agree that the acting here is definitely not Oscar worthy. Not their "shining hour", that's for sure! But thanks for sharing this strangely compelling footage with us.
Aside from the bad acting, "Young Dillinger" (1965) has one of the best soundtracks of any film ever made. The film is almost impossible to find. Yje incidental music throughout the film is fantastic.
lol word. ive seen some pretty shitty stuff. but lol this ones kinda funny. i loved when he slapped her and she snapped back before you could blink. i was like OHHHHH
Nothin wrong with Nick Adams. He was always good, the material he had to work w in many of his films was sub-par to flatout crappy..heck, even in the Japanese Monster film(s) he was watchable..actually one of my favorite 60's actors....he was nominated for best supporting actor early in his career U know. RIP Nick.
The acting, according to the style of the time, is actually pretty good, except for a few lines from both which could have had better delivery, namely that last line she says.
Also, as some people have said before me, it's more how the scene was shot that was the problem. It's a nice achievement that they managed this all in one take, but it would look more aesthetically pleasing and would be more communicative if it had some closeups on each of them and a greater variety of camera angles.
the guy's not bad, i actually thought he was truthful even though his stakes don't seem that high. the girl, well, i can't tell if she's being so "presentational" on purpose, but i doubt it.
Acting...bad or good? U really can't judge it like that - more in the direction and the way it was shot and edited - whatever happened in that moment is now crystalized - not a case of "bad" and good but perception.
Yipes. She seems demented in her attempt at great acting. He's acting with a fantasy of playing off somebody better. Looks like the director is at fault. There was a lot of this crap in the 1950s and early 1960s when the clueless copied the style of "the Method" without understanding its substance.

Is this a scene from "Young Dillinger"?
Robert Conrad was also in this. Who ever put this up, can you post a scene with him in it?

It's a shame how Nick Adams ended up as and actor before he commited suicide. he had potential but just couldn't get to the top...

Acting...bad or good? U really can't judge it like that - more in the direction and the way it was shot and edited - whatever happened in that moment is now crystalized - not a case of "bad" and good but perception.

Yipes. She seems demented in her attempt at great acting. He's acting with a fantasy of playing off somebody better. Looks like the director is at fault. There was a lot of this crap in the 1950s and early 1960s when the clueless copied the style of "the Method" without understanding its substance.
