lovely to look at but less than plausible
29 January 2001
It's unusual to see a colour film of such cinematic beauty made as early as 1945. It's a pleasure to watch if only for the succession of scenic locations, and also for the architectural beauty of the homes inhabited by this evidently well off but troubled family. However, the plot becomes increasingly implausible with each twist of the storyline. The courtroom scene near the end was least believable of all. To think that a judge would allow someone to act as prosecuting attorney who had once been jilted by the alleged murder victim stretches belief nearly to the breaking point.
