    OMG... very twisted.. teaches one a lot about selfishness and selflessness.

    Super film: B&W really works marvellously here (prefer it to the 1984 remake with Murray; and Tyrone carries an intensity)

    A beautiful and strong story, it's ultimately not my style, but there are many things to love from it... the performances alone, Power, Tierney and SPECIALLY Anne Baxter are amazing.
