Stron character rescued in the wilderness, thats ok; but takes too long, inside the house hiding and avoiding the wilderness...

Fine long piece of what Hollywood and all its constraints could made in 1956 with a not amazing material: an ordinary man facing quietly extraordinary problems as an abandoned child in Italy and an almost lost legacy...

Naruse is somehow between Ozu and any other greta japanese. Love the challenge of putting in every woman's foot, even the sympathy goes for the non wife. The choir of characters that forces her is well handled

Nice play, nice cast, nice Beaumont directing; tender touches mainly not in the Harding-Loy meeting, but in Brady's celebrating Loy is as fool as she and that's why they're friends.

Good swedish modern love affair romantized with music topics (he is a well known violinist); but pointing to emancipation of Ingrid at the end. Nice passion two shots and dialogues.

Hard and direct director Harlan when he has to. And a bit of rural urban inspired poetry when charming Soderbaum plays with the river on her feet, knowing the water goes to golden Prague.

Too stagey, too wordy; it suffer's form grandiloquent character's speeches even when they are breaking. Widmarl modulates the proceedings, but Basehart and Benton Reid are a bit too histrionic...

Uneasy to pooint ist virtues, I'm sure editing suffers of putting too much of what´s bieng found, in compilators fear of losing something...Sarcasm covers everything woth relativism,kind of plain..bust there are pretty sharp remarks as Bogdanovich when he say thar the beaten critic "will survive..to write about this". The sexual sordid naif elusive dialogues with the professor and everything regarding Dale (Pocahontas is a solid sex activ object with firearms and everything) is a piece of study...

The respect of historical facts and investigation aminorates risl of romatic corny distortions. Victoria is wrong and weak sometimes, and credible right and stubborn in others...

Realist kind approach to the 'adult' themes of Mary's husband homosexuality, great Saoirse's close ups with greater hairstyles, .....
