Such a masterful film, and one that I honestly consider to be utterly perfect in every way.<br /><br />One of my all time (like top ten/fifteen) favorite films!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-25618114269113520572015-02-09T11:55:36.947-08:002015-02-09T11:55:36.947-08:00@keith 71_98-See it as soon as possible.
@joel659...@keith 71_98-See it as soon as possible.<br /><br />@joel65913-OK, I'll add that film to my list as I hope to do more Ophuls in the future.<br /><br />@ruth-I don't know much about Ophuls either as it's my first film by the director that I saw. I hope to do more as it recently was played on TCM. That's why I love that channel. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-61122027141155397402015-02-09T10:32:57.634-08:002015-02-09T10:32:57.634-08:00I kind of like the premise of this one.

Caught drags a little at times but has great atmosphere and a terrific cast. However my favorite of the three is The Reckless Moment. It's a tense drama, interestingly shot with both James Mason and especially Joan Bennett at the top of their game. The story was reworked and remade with Tilda Swinton in 2001 as The Deep End which is also worth seeing. <br /><br />Sorry if this is a repeat I posted a comment a bit ago and it vanished when I hit post.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-13477907262705989342015-02-09T08:03:09.018-08:002015-02-09T08:03:09.018-08:00Well Unknown Woman is from that period but it was ...Well Unknown Woman is from that period but it was well regarded at the time and still is now, Joan Fontaine's performance is considered one of her best. <br /><br />I've seen a couple of others from that period.

It's got an interesting tense story, one of Joan Bennett's best performances and one of James Mason's too. It was reworked in 2001 and remade as The Deep End with Tilda Swinton which is an a decent film as well.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-67374605296078606682015-02-09T08:00:37.393-08:002015-02-09T08:00:37.393-08:00Great, great, great review.

I'm hoping to see more of Ophuls work that isn't from his Hollywood period which I heard wasn't good. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-25731520000109609432015-02-08T17:13:01.580-08:002015-02-08T17:13:01.580-08:00I watched this for the first time this week when t...I watched this for the first time this week when they ran it on TCM and thought it excellent. I'm not a huge foreign film viewer so it helped that I was familiar with all three stars other work, I was able to connect to their characters more quickly.<br /><br />If you haven't seen it you'd probably enjoy the director's Letter From An Unknown Woman, it's beautifully shot and full of repressed longing.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.com
