| 1) This has not the slightest cinematic device in the whole film.If thiswere to be broadcast on radio the only thing that you would miss is thevarious attempts to upstage one another.In one scene early on CliveBrooks seems to be twirling his hunter watch all through the scene.Theconclusion of the film is set in a courtroom where we have those wilyprotagonists Francis L Sullivan and Felix Aylmer trying to outdo eachother.This film is more interesting as a reflection of attitudes of thetime rather than as an entertainment.There is also a very young Googiewithers in a small part of Ann Todds maid.if you are interested infilms of this era it is worth a view. | |
