Stripped of its color and some excellent photography plus imaginative direction by Michael Powell, the plot itself would have emerged as a shoddy yarn.

Top CriticIt's an understanding and at times even celebratory film -- attitudes that scandalized critics years ago and are still pretty potent today.
