And then please let me know what you think of it. (I enjoyed it.) Now, wasn't John Dall very effeminate? Perhaps we were supposed to read between the swishing? Rapper himself was into guys, so I wonder if there are any hidden clues in the film. I really can't remember. I gotta watch that one again. If only for Joan Lorring's masterful performance. Harry,

As I said, the DVD is done, but has not been released; Neil Brand is providing the score. I thought of you during the screening of <i>The Corn Is Green</i>. No need for Bette, Claudette (or anyone else playing Miss Moffat) to attempt a Welsh accent. Moffat is thoroughly English, which is hard enough to pull off for most Americans. You're right, Davis is miscast; the entire romance subplot is unconvincing. Worse still is John Dall, so effective in <i>Rope</i><i>. It is a strangely coded play about love and shame (of one's origins and longings); but there was not much left of queer Emlyn Williams in the quaint Rapper version.
