Surprisingly effective and well made WIP with Maria Schell and Herbert Lom as well as many of the usual good looking suspects. Not as violent as some of Franco's later efforts, this is in fact pretty sensual and always good looking and would slot alongside 'Eugenie
.' and 'Venus in Furs' from the same period better than one would imagine. Good performances all round including a peculiarly effective one from a certain Mercedes Cambridge, who was apparently in 'Johnny Guitar'! Enjoyable and this just shows how well the old guy could direct if he put his mind to it or wasn't too restrained by others. Also he possibly refrained from indulging himself too much here because of his esteemed cast. Good score too from Bruno Nicolai.
