No. Absolutely not.
It would be stupid to look at details like the knife scene as the whole film is for today on the " naive side " as are the criminal novels from that time.
R.Donat is a wonderful actor ( Bye bye Mr. Chips is comind on DVD, by the way ), and it is pure joy to follow the images and the plot, and the characteres, without forgetting the humor. Hitch British period save the last is wonderful, with still an heavy influence from the German movie.....from Young & Innocents ( may favorite ) to The Lady vanished...all are just encountable pleasures.
Taking the farmer´s wife as she sleept in his man bed...?
Or a " petit menage a trois " my friend?
No paise high enough in this genre.
I love it.
And the scene in the hotel...They are just a runaway couple.....Wonderful!
Follow Ups:
argument about things were different then! Poe wrote terrific detective stories many years before this...And Balzac wrote "realistic" adventure novels in the 19th century: "The Thirteen," for one.
Later today, I'll watch "The Lovers," with the young Ms. Moreau.
BUT.
I do not try.
For me this film works magic.Ever had ever will.
worst of all "art" films. Deadly boring. Deadly. L'amour, toujours l'...merde. And Moreau just looks like a cow. Maybe if she were Anna Karina...but still, Jeanne has all the warmth of an icicle.
I am mystified by the reputation of this film!
Myself if I would not like this film but instead the " Two Towers "......
Bhäää....
You last word Patrick... with my viwer set to Cyrillic encoding, your last word looks very much like one of bad Russian words.Perhaps that was subliminable (sic)?
Your encoding is right.
