One of Deborah Kerr's best performances


Deborah Kerr is superb in this film. Initially sweet and charismatic, she is not afraid to make Anne irritating and downright dislikable at times later in the film, yet is still ultimately very moving. (Spoilers, spoilers...) The scene where she discovers that she has been betrayed by David Niven’s character is a heartbreaking moment, and her ultimate fate in the film hits home because of the brilliance of Kerr’s playing.
