And there is definitely a Shakespearean sense of murder most foul in the air in this film. "Leave her to Heaven" is what Hamlet says regarding the fate of his mother.
The fate of Ms. Tierney in this film? Probably something less than Heaven.
A couple of comments to add: The color really is incredible in this film and the interiors so well shot, you just want to spend time curled up in these places.
The scene of the boy swimming alongside the boat is frighteningly realistic in a modern way. More like something out of a Scorcese film than a movie from the 1950s.
The ending of the film is poorly done and way too fast.
