"They love me....the men love me, the women love me...... ME, MAHOGANY!"
Like other's have mentioned, this film and also "Keeper of the Flame" and "A Double Life" were very dark, compelling movies.

"I promise you, before I die I'll surely come to your doorstep"

Very well-thought-out film.

Cukor also directed the 1944 "Gaslight," with Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer and Joseph Cotten. He was not a stranger to thrillers, to say the very least.

I LOVED the scene in the ski lift and Joan unlatches the door. VERY Hitchcockian indeed!
