Two Weeks In Another Town is a solid film that only misses a higher ranking by being a bit overly melodramatic. But, that's just Minnelli's style. He just oozes melodrama. When he and Kirk Douglas teamed up earlier in Lust For Life, we got a similar result -- good, but a bit over the top. Edward G. Robinson is his usual excellent self here and almost keeps things real. Cyd Charisse, George Hamilton, and Kirk are all acting to the rafters though, not in a real bad way mind you, just a different style of acting than I'd prefer, particularly for a plot about the cynical side of movie-making.
I give it a 6.
