Review of Moonfleet

Moonfleet (1955)
7/10
Close to greatness - disappointing ending falls short - worth watching for fun
5 December 2020
It's astonishing how many films can do so many great things like this one and then when it really counts they don't know how to end it.

This movie is such the epitome of anti-climactic.

Great acting all-around from top to bottom. Sets and costumes top notch.

Credit Fritz Lang here for using a lot of his tricks here - seems like he was working on a tight budget on a tight time frame because they try to scoop this up at the end like they ran out of money and ideas - too bad because at times this feels close to a masterpiece but so much is lost at the end, unexplained with loose ends everywhere.

What could have been.
