the way a dead woman and her memories affects her past acquaintances in different ways. quite a strange film, and among his other films perhaps closest in tone to vertigo. a little overlong, especially during the investigation. wonderful visuals and the late romantic era music is luscious.

 

B+ (75)

Awesome Hitchcock. Often overlooked in his catalog of films. Olivier, Anderson and Sanders kill it. Delivers the goods with a gripping mystery and, not to mention, some very haunting images wash over the eyes in the final moments. The comparison to Vertigo is apt.

Quite enjoyable, though I wish the Hitchcock version didn't have to be so sanitized from the book. As much as I love this film, it's so weird to think of it as a Best Picture winner.

 

Laurence Olivier   One of the all-time great talent to looks ratio for a movie star.

too bad it was so long when it didn't need to be. Hitchcock direction is flawless and Joan Fontaine is exceptional. 75/100
