The master's first film in America. Although he had to continually wrestle on the floor with Selznick he crafted a beautiful, atmospheric gothic melodrama. JF and Judith Anderson were perfect in their respective roles...LO less so. I found him stiff, overly reserved and almost completely unsympathetic. Her "love" for him was entirely inexplicable to me. This guy was the opposite of passionate...just a cold fish.
Nice sets and camera work.
