Strange, for sure


This was bold subject matter for its time, and it is a haunting movie that demands to be seen. Don't miss it.

Watched on TCM tonight. I'm glad I did. Great to see Crawford playing a different type of role. I'd never heard of Ian Hunter. He was great.

Yes, excellent film.

Very unusual subject matter handled very well. My Joan Crawford fave and Ian Hunter is an overlooked actor of intelligence and style.

Ian Hunter can also been seen in "The Little Princess" 20th Century Fox 1939 as Shirley Temple's Father and in "Ziegfeld Girl" M-G-M 1941 where he plays a rich man who becomes involved with Lana Turner. He was a great actor.

My favorite Ian Hunter role is that of King Richard the Lionheart in "The Adventures of Robin Hood" with Errol Flynn. :-)

This is one of those movies they couldn't make now a days.

It'd have to be filled with P.C. crap infested speech and messages. And probably too much computer animated crap. And throw in a few crappy actors and it'd be ready for an overblown release.

Guess you can follow the theme regarding my take on "modern" films.

I liked this film mainly because it did what the purest form of filmmaking (in my view) is supposed to do.

It simply entertained me for an hour or two.
