  • James Mason is simply enchanting.

  • It's a brilliant film. Absolutely stunning.

  • oooohhhh. nice opening camera move. very fancy.

  • I just watched this again last night. Fantastic Blu-ray, kudos to all of the fine people at Criterion. This one's a genuine masterpiece, yet another reason why Nicholas Ray was the greatest director of the 1950s.

  • What a film! You watch this trailer alone and you realize why James Mason was recently chosen by a British film magazine as perhaps the finest British actor in films on both sides of the pond. He made this right after appearing with Judy Garland in "A Star Is Born" and it was directed by Nicholas Ray, who directed James Dean in "Rebel Without A Cause".

  • try the english transcribed subtitles. They're just awful :D
