Good story/script/acting/direction/sets/continuity/costuming, all coming
together in a whole greater that the sum of the parts. This movie holds
up very well, I think, in the 65 or so years since it was made. Not
many films can make that claim.
Not everyone likes it, of course, and I was one of those people for
quite a while. But I've changed my mind. I have to put it in my top
10 best movies ever made list. And that's saying a lot for a film that
old.
