I like the way she plays it, but I think the biggest flaw is that I never buy into the romantic power of the dead man. By the way, I was just hunting around on IMDB and saw that Marshall played Geoffrey Hammond in the 1929 version of the film. Since we never get to see Georfreey Hammond and the actor who played him isn't credited, I suppose the older film must have had some flashbacks, which would have actually worked, I think. Maybe if I think of Bette Davis having to choose between young Herbert marshall and older Herbert Marshall, then it works for me.Jennythenipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570881559181199994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429340425396153262.post-14647577283630838462009-06-08T14:36:00.960-05:002009-06-08T14:36:00.960-05:00Oh, I think I might have to disagree with you on t...Oh, I think I might have to disagree with you on this one. ;) Of course I love noir and I adore Ms. Davis. I've always thought this was one of her best performances. This film has always been one of my favorites. :DKittenbiscuitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555499429113930204noreply@blogger.com
