Albeit dusty in appearance, the movie is abloom with the fresh influence of imported pop. |
The movie has a tendency to be talky, but that's because it's based on a play that Nelson wrote. |
There's the tangled web and fatalism of Cocteau's standard storyline, but the movie lacks the waking dream state of Cocteau's movies. |
Sure, the movie has some wackadoo charm but the modern remakes, recently released on Blu-ray and DVD, are just a waste of time. |
The apologies and absolutions at the end of the movie were rather trite and underdone. |
I saw this movie on t.v. years and years ago and have yet to be able to find it in a video store. |
