A remarkable performance by Dame Edith Evans.Richard Burton's 1st film.Thankfully not his last. #2 Avant Le Deluge The usual load of crap about a poor,poor Jew scapegoat.This film outdoes even the Jew controlled American film industry.The Jews in this Charles Spaak script are not portrayed,however,in a completely good light.There are some truths,especially in the 1st half of the film,that clearly manifest the queer nature of the Jewish race and its ceaseless negro loving,white hating communist machinations.For further reference see Henry Ford's book `The International Jewish Conspiracy`.Historical Covid19 footnote:President Trump's mention of Henry Ford's good bloodlines has the Commie pigs in an uproar.They don't like any reference to best blood or superior breeding,or genetic,biological,or medical truths of any kind.

I am always impressed how the British can craft a beautiful movie with such modest themes. One reviewer wrote that this film was slow-moving. Though it does not have the breakneck pacing of more recent films, it never lags and the viewer's patience is richly rewarded. Edith Evans is movingly wonderful as always and Richard Burton's film debut is outstanding. In contrast to his later films, he seems more subdued but very luminous. The camera loves him. Anyone viewing it at the time must have been eager to see his next film. Though the source material isn't perfect, most of the dialogue is audible. Once can only hope that it will be restored one day.
