Marlene the only one actress Hitchcock allowed to set up her own light design and shots during the realization of this film. was a really, really diva, no one else in the film history .... at least as far as i know.
Echt jetzt ? Ich fand ihn als DVD auf dem Flohmarkt hab ihn aber noch nicht geschaut. Er hat doch ein schlechtes Image. Im Vergleich zu anderen Hitches.
Fő a pontatlanság! Michael Wilding Jr. /1953-/A Gugli ezt a filmet a filmjei közé sorolja! Születése előtt 3 évvel szerepelni egy filmben؟ Ez min. 1 Impossible Nobel Award!!! Erre eddig Sophie Marceau/1965-/volt képes, aki már 1943-ban forgatott؟ Szintén a Gugli szerint! Ebben a 2 címre is elkeresztelt 1950-es filmben a szereplők közt már viszont Michael Wilding/Sr/azaz a papa؟ képe található... Bravó "kedves és okos" Gugli!!!
A weird regression for Hitchcock. Very reminiscent of some of his lesser 1930s British films. Hardly the Hitchcock of "Rebecca", "Shadow of a Doubt", and "Rope". Hard to believe that next year following this would be the great "Strangers on a Train", and all the great masterworks to follow in the 50s. A pity about Wyman's terrible hair-style, but even the great Marilyn Monroe herself had to suffer the horrible hairdos of the 1950s. Wyman does a great acting job, regardless. But, minus a few master touches, Hitchcock phoned this in. Well, he did say (jokingly but not really) that Marlene Dietrich directed the movie.
There is one pure moment of Hitchcockian terror near the end when he has Jane Wyman in his grasp and no reason not to kill her. The light falling across her eyes, the whole composition is outstanding Hitchcock.
