Jean Simmons is not that beautiful. I haven't seen the "Hamlet" and "Great Expectations" she filmed in her early years, but in this film her face looks too dry, her cheekbones are vicissitudes of life, and the close-up also exposes her large but not delicate facial features. Maybe it's the black and white light and shadow that accentuates the imperfections of the face, and some scenes look much more delicate and plump when the light on her face doesn't accentuate the shadows on her face. I was only in my early twenties when I filmed this film, but it didn't look very girly, so it was a little less convincing to replace it with an angel face. At the same time, "Napoleon's Love History" was also very young in manner and voice. Once the face was close-up or the propaganda hard photo was seen, the problem of showing old age would be exposed.
But it does not affect Jean's wonderful performance. The facial expression changes when playing the piano metaphor to do evil in several places are horrifying, the raised eyebrows, and the firm and evil eyes. The piano melody that runs through adds some neat charm to the film, and the night wandering alone is even more unforgettable.
When the court pronounced the verdict, the tension was really aroused, and my heart was pounding.
The worst is mitchum, which is almost identical to the ending of "Beyond the Maelstrom", and everything originated from a small mistake at the time.
