Description
 
This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

A powerful drama, The Seventh Veil continues to make an impact decades after its release, in spite of the fact that modern audiences will likely find its psychological underpinnings somewhat dated. As with many films of the period that sought to incorporate psychology into the proceedings, Veil oversimplifies things tremendously, from the ease with which a patient can be hypnotized (and the extent of what they can reveal under hypnosis) to the ability of a doctor to bring about a total transformation in a matter of a few sessions. Yet, if one looks beyond these flaws, one can appreciate the film's attempt to analyze the complexity of certain male-female relationships in which domination and submission play an important role; it may romanticize and "Hollywood"-ize these relationships, but it still presents them in a compelling manner.

Reviewer: richard schiro from Springfield, VT United States  
Thank you so much for supplying me with a region one dvd of this wonderful film. I had it on VHS and transferred to DVD but I lost everything I had in a warehouse fire and I've been searching for this film all over the place. Not only do you have it but you have an excellent copy. Thank you so much and your service is excellent!

5 of 5 A romantic masterwork: compelling and timeless March 8, 2018
Reviewer: Francis Clough from Miami, FL United States  
This landmark psychological melodrama contains everything a classic should have. Lush art direction and silvery black-and-white photography, a fascinating story of a traumatized woman's slow recovery through self-discovery, smooth direction and two sensational lead performances. Radiant Ann Todd is mesmerizing, and James Mason superb as always!
