The shots are always interestingly composed, the focus careless, one thinks some of it has no expressive intent behind it and is jut bad luck filming. Annabella is very beautiful, and Jean Pierre Aumont is very charming. Neither of them, however, are good enough. Charles Vanel is better than that as Anabella’s husband, subtly coded as a jew. . A combination of boys’ own WW1 adventure and melodrama, handsomely mounted, enjoyable to see but it does not entirely resolve the questions I have regarding Litvak.
