Im Banne der Vergangenheit (1. I'd love to see a remastered print of . A restoration would bring out the contrasts of the grays, blacks and whites, and it would bring out details of the costumes and sets that are obscured in the existing images. I would hope that a restoration could remove some of the noise from the sound track and bring up the voices as against the musical background. Not to complain about the score itself, which is superior work by Georges Auric. The score along with the sets almost define the film by themselves. Eric Portman gives a beautiful performance that doesn't give any traces of even being acted. He's right into the role of an art critic in 1. Venetian from the late 1.
That man was spurned by the woman he desired and strangled her with her own hair. Portman has a portrait of her and Edana Romney is her image, and so Portman undertakes to remake her as that woman. He lives in a mansion filled with treasures from that Italian era and it has a corridor of doors with mirrored panels that open to closets filled with these items (like jewelry) and with elaborate dresses and gowns that he has had artist Alan Wheatley make. Ah, if only Portman had been cast with a female lead up to his portrayal, but this was not meant to be. Her part called for subtle changes in her behavior. She's captivated by Portman. She yearns for a sexual episode, but she's disappointed. She almost wallows in his riches. She becomes frightened of him. She falls back on a conventional attraction to Hugh Sinclair. 1940-luku; Vuosi Suomenkielinen nimi Alkuper This is a difficult role! To show all these and other changes convincingly is quite a challenge. Who could have done it? But, alas, we have Romney. The film is often mentioned in the same breath with a number of other movies like . This, I believe, is very misleading because it attaches only to certain plot elements and not to the tone or look or feeling of the film which is more pervasive. This movie is more in tone and feeling like . These are films contemporary to . They show the decided influence of noir in settings that go back to earlier eras, like Victorian. Gothic is the adjective often used. Mysterious, ambiguous, brooding, with Portman attempting to attain the unattainable, seeking to create his own reality while not running aground on the actual reality of Romney, this is the part of the psychological underpinning of this picture. She turns out to be more conventional than he ever imagined. Let's be glad the film was even made. Vic's Rare Films - Full list of rare films. Harrowhouse (1. 97. Chair. The (1. 92. World Snooker.
