THE TRAP (1966) widescreen - part 2/3

In this beauty-and-the-beast love story, Rita Tushingham plays a mute orphan girl who is sold to fur trapper Oliver Reed as his unwilling wife. He drags the terrified girl to his remote cabin in the woods.

The film is set in British Columbia, Canada, in 1849. Great wilderness scenery, and a terrific score by Ron Goodwin. Impressively, Rita has not one word of dialogue, playing the role entirely with her eyes.

This copy is a direct transfer from a film print which, strangely, has German titles but an English audio track. There are a few problems with the audio -- it occasionally loses sync or changes pitch, but those problems were intrinsic to the film print.

This anamorphic 16:9 letterboxed presentation shows the film in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

Both Rita and Oliver are incredible in this movie. The characters, Eve and Jon, they portray are extremely interesting and complex. The character Eve reminds me of Nanon from the silent horror film The Unknown (1927, dir. Tod Browning). Neither lady felt very comfortable with intimacy, at first.
