Viewing Notes

Beautifully filmed with mostly great performances from the cast. Northern California does a nice stand-in for Cornwall and the studio backlot makes a nice fishing village. Milland and Hussey make a great brother/sister couple, almost a minor Nick and Nora ala THE THIN MAN. Gail Russell is quite good as the young Stella; it’s too bad she drank for confidence and it ended up killing her at 36.
