REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 20-Jul-2006)

This movie is wonderful. Outstanding perfomances by Clifton Webb, Tyrone Power and Gene Tierney. Great settings, Paris, India, Chicago. Loved it. Watched it in July, 2007 and thought the movie held up well even though it was made in 1946. I highly recommend it. Just looking at Gene Tierney and Tyrone Power and their incredible good looks made it special.
