Taylor's character, Helen, is one of the screen's great ones.
Welles, btw, is reputed to have assisted quite a bit in the direction. Note the strange camera angles, the chiaroscuro lighting, the unusually framed closeups? And the glorious, though brief, cameo by Agnes Moorehead: pure gold.
Welles creation I'd put against that of Olivier's, too. More.... manly!
