 Indeed, given Bogart's dry performance and how close the story hews to his prior hits, the film borders on satire. Perhaps that explains Lizabeth Scott's performance. She's presented as a clone of Lauren Bacall's character in _The Big Sleep_: a blonde, throaty-voiced singer involved in a man's disappearance. But she and Bogart have no chemistry and she delivers most of her lines with an odd affectation where she speaks without moving her upper lip. Even worse, the film shoots her in some unflattering angles. During a would-be tense scene where a cop pulls her over and she's searching for her driver's license, the lighting and angle give her an ogreish appearance.
 
-Still, she shows flashes of potential. During her big scene during the finale, after Bogart delivers a line lifted right from _The Maltese Falcon_, she starts talking with both lips.

 The execution waffles between genius formal rigor and overwrought amateur antics. Consider the scene where the group ambushes a pair of enemy soldiers. The inspired editing offers no gore but conveys the assault’s brutal violence. Yet it plays too long. Ditto Paul Mazursky’s performance, which begins low key, conveying volumes in simple gazes but grows unbounded into caricature. Young Kubrick had yet to master when less is more.
 
-Despite these flaws, _Fear and Desire_ proves worth watching. Running just an hour and two minutes, it requires a small investment. And for those who aspire to greatness, seeing (perhaps) the greatest formal master’s early work may offer inspiration. Kubrick didn't emerge fully formed, he needed practice and time.

 Absent his trademark formal vigor, one would be hard pressed to imagine Scott's future output based on this film. It's quiet, contemplative, and, even at just 57 minutes, unhurried. Scott, who also wrote and edited the picture, cuts between expansive wide shots showcasing the open countryside and claustrophobic, cluttered interiors. The resulting atmosphere flirts with hicksploitation, but the film remains rooted in psychological drama.
