Amazing given when this was produced


Something I am impressed by this evening as I watch this on TCM (Yes, I know, the music is not orignal) is how well the production was done on this. Given the year and what facilities were available to a film production company at the time there are some specticular moments. There are so many moments when they might have messed up on the placement of items such as hands or where items are placed and they were flawless. This was all done without the benefit of playback on the set from a video reference. Just someone on the set watching this as they shot far, and close up.

The dialogue moves right along as does the story.

I must admit I found this movie impressive....
