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

It's an understanding and at times even celebratory film -- attitudes that scandalized critics years ago and are still pretty potent today. Full Review |

Notorious, fascinating, but not quite as good as legend
