i'm a non believer
4 January 2011
this film is full of grotesques with nothing more demeaning ever than flora Robson's blacking up ,what was that all about. Ingrid Bergman is one of those actresses your supposed to like no matter what she does .well i just don't buy her creole seductress.in the black wig the over rouged mouth she gives good impression of what Hedy lamarr might have looked like if shed been cast which she was but mayer wouldn't lend her . Hedy had smoulder Ingrid was always too sanitised . Gary copper acting style has dated his underplaying now looks like a familiar set of mannerisms .there's something rancid about this movie. it wasn't released for two years and didn't do as well as was expected .Bergman's penchant to grab everything, play everything ,is exposed in this movie for what it is -an actress of high ambition out of her depths .Bergman was good but mainly when she played Ingrid Bergman- endless repetitions of intermezzo scream at me if you like i'm a non believer and this film is a dud
