55 years ago, Burt Lancaster gave perhaps his best performance in the sweaty, summery, surreal dream that is The Swimmer. itismitchell writes about its bitter suburban ennui:
) who insisted on keeping the Perrys’ vision of an independent picture without any name stars, things quickly turned sour when Spiegel had them sign over decision-making authority and demanded a major actor take on the leading role to help lure audiences in, among other changes.
Lancaster’s performance is arguably his very best, with the actor recognizing his unique positioning to capture the rotted heart of this quickly evaporating creature. There was a time when Lancaster was the very thing at whichaims its incisive critique: The poster child for The Great American Hero. His Ned Merrill is almost the direct antonym to his gallant stud of a soldier infrom a decade prior.
Each new backyard sheds more of the mirage that Ned elaborately tries to maintain, particularly when he stumbles across a hot dog wagon, the type a street vendor would use, at one house’s rocking pool party. Ned adamantly proclaims that this ishot dog wagon. The neighbors explain that they purchased it during “a white elephant sale” that Ned’s wife threw, and when he demands to purchase it back, he is shoved to the ground.
“You got tossed out of your golden playpen, that’s what happened,” Shirley cuttingly responds. He pathetically attempts to make a move on her, and is rebuffed even more aggressively than before. She tears him down to the bone, calling him dull and vapid and saying she always faked her satisfaction when she was with him. “YOU LOVED IT!” he cries to the heavens as she storms away. No one is around to hear his proclamations of greatness anymore.
