[@subhasisghosh66]

Brilliant movie. Brilliant print. Thanks Chris T. In real life too, she had to hide her personal life, as in this film. She was born in Bombay to a British Engineer and Sinhalese mother. After her father died in WW1, she and her mother moved to Calcutta where she faced discrimination among the European community due to her mixed parentage and dropped out of school. She was active in amateur theatre and worked as a receptionist. Her first engagement in Calcutta to a British army officer also broke up because of her mixed parentage. For the rest of her life she feared this discrimination and pretended to be born in Tasmania where her birth records were lost. Sometimes art imitates life.

Merle oberon's performance is beyond magnificent. It is hard to believe she is acting. How she can recall and recite all that dialog. It is like an encyclopedia but she is so real! This is one actress that no matter how good she is with the spoken word her sentiment and feeling are revealed to the fullest when she is NOT speaking. Brilliant.

[@templedrake6890]

[@voraciousreader3341]

All serious actors have to have good memories, or they wouldn’t be employable! Think of the Shakespearean actors and the 2+ hour plays that have to memorize, and nobody gets to edit out mistakes or even whole scenes as film actors can. In fact, every time the actors are seen from another direction in a film, that’s a new take, and one scene could take several days to get enough film, with clever editing to put the pieces into a smooth whole….so you may think Oberon has a phenomenal memory, but I’d only be sure of that if I had ever seen her in a lengthy play onstage!

Terrific! Merle Oberon is luminous. Paul Lucas is great as always. The great cinematographer Lucian Ballard was married to Merle Oberon when he filmed this. And most curiously, the famous war photographer Robert Capa played Baroudi's servant, Hamza. Capa took the famous shot of the falling soldier, in the Spanish Civil War, and photographed the landing of the first wave of Americans on D-Day. He was killed by a land mine in Viet Nam in 1954.

It is sad because in days gone by dressing up, no matter what your income was, made going out somewhere "Special" and you felt special. You could have just one outfit you wear only for those times and it made you smile and excited about the event (dinner, a play, dancing, attending your church, visiting a group of friends, or just strolling along a tree lined avenue with someone) There is always at least one outfit within your budget even if bought at a thrift store that makes you happy when you wear it.

[@robertmcdougall3166]

I am astounded that this film was made in 1946, the crisp quality of the video is absolutely superb. Fortunately, neither my wife nor I had read the reviews which were not too favourable when it was released. We absolutely loved the film which is based on greed, love and murder. Merle Oberon is absolutely superb, great actress and looks amazingly stunning (aided by an assemblage of costumes). Charles Korvin gives a sterling performance as the lover / blackmailer. Oberon must have been one of the most glamorous actresses to ever grace a film, I can only begin to imagine who she must have felt following the injuries sustained later in a car crash. In reality a lady from a very troubled past. We watch tons of old films and this is easily one of the best we have seen, superb post.

I had to look up who on earth designed those divine costumes! It was Orry-Kelly, never heard of him, he is a 3 time Oscar winner. This is a great movie if you enjoy fabulous outfits.

Those hats were very stunning in a curious way.
