Joan Crawford's acting is really good. With her appearance, I think the best thing about this movie is her. Neither the honest Gran nor the gentleman's baron, nor the cunning Pushinkin could compare to her. for moneny, why not anyone, she can promise Pushinkin's private secretary, can promise Grande a trip to Paris, all for her own consideration. Under the bright exterior, there are thousands of styles, and people's intrigues are all revealed. The black-and-white movie style far surpasses the current mainland movies. What is the use of closed-door restrictions? After more than 50 years, it is not as good as the films made in the 1930s and the film techniques used.

Baron Felix von Geigern: What?
Grusinskaya: I don't even know your name.
Baron Felix von Geigern: [laughs] I am Felix Benvenuto Freihern von Geigern. My mother called me "Flix".
Grusinskaya: [joyously] No! Flix! Oh, that's sweet. And how do you live? And what kind of a person are you?
Baron Felix von Geigern: I'm a prodigal son, the black sheep of a white flock. I shall die on the gallows.
