Jack dances beautifully and shows his real gift for comedy and a lot of charm. Flesh and the Devil is one of his most popular films but not one of my favorites. Brown s directing seems heavy handed to me. He encouraged them both to use exaggerated movements and facial expressions that don t appear in his other films. But there is still a lot going for it in high style romance and passion.
People still like it everywhere it s shown.
Out is a violent explosion of a story with sparks flying between him and Joan Crawford . Leatrice, I agree with you that Man, Woman and Sin is vastly underrated. In Dark Star you write that Jack drew upon his own childhood memories when he contributed to the script. He and Monte Bell wrote the script drawing from both of their backgrounds. One feature was from Jack s own memories of poverty.
