A Classic That Doesn't Disappoint
I had wanted to view this film for quite some time and when it arrived at my doorstep and later was loaded into my VCR it was all I had hoped for. Well written, solidly acted and directed, suspense laden yet humorous, the movie was definately as good as I'd heard. Especially outstanding is the performance of Claude Rains but it doesn't overpower the rest of the cast's excellent acting undertakings, particularly that of Paul Muni. This film is certainly well worth seeing and I encourage all of you to do so. One thing I should point out is that I purchased the VHS Hollywood Classics Collector's Edition put out by the Madacy Music Group of Quebec and my copy arrived damaged. This may very well have occurred during shipping and may not reflect on the distributor at all. I am also confident that, had I chosen to, I could have returned it and gotten another copy without a problem. However, I chose to repair it myself, which I was able to do but it did involve taking the tape apart and reassembling it. I don't know who was at fault but the bottom line is that my copy was damaged and you have the right to know that. As far as the film itself though; its a classic that absolutely does not disappoint. I urge you to give it a look.
