Previously in Browning’s point of view, I witnessed michael redgrave’s touching acting skills. I didn’t expect to see another side of him in this film: young, humorous, brave and would make tricks (forcing the heroine to call the manager to change her mind ...), occasionally I feel a little nervous (when I understand that the heroine is going back to get married), in the era when Hollywood superstars "only play myself", his funny performances made me shine. What's more, this is the second time he has appeared in a movie. Before that, he was only a stage actor. The commentary attached to cc also pointed out that Laurence Oliver, who was also born in a stage play, could never do this. Hehe, based on lo's exaggerated dramatic performance in many plays, this is indeed the case.
Talking about the master's skill, it has already begun to show up in this early movie. The application of long lenses, camera angles, montages and other photography techniques, McGeffen's settings, and many deceitful tricks involving politically sensitive parts are all reflected. The most incredible thing is that the entire film was shot on a small stage, and the rest is done with a light-transmitting background and miniature models. Although the cost is small, the effect is huge. This movie also brought him a great reputation. Hitchcrew was regarded as:
