A young architect , Gary Cooper, meets in his adult life his lost childhood love , Ann Harding , who is married to a duke , John Halliday, and he is subsequently falsely imprisoned for a murder. Undeterred by physical separation the intimate couple continue to meet in their own world. Love ...born in the simple hearts of children , loving gloriously , triumphant through the years ! How long have you been with my wife ? Go ahead make love to her .. before my eyes..not behind my back , but be quick about it..before I send you both to hell !
A very romantic drama with emotion , sensibiity and exciting finale .This is a stunning and memorable adaptation of a novel of George Du Maurier about a beloved couple that transcends death , preserved in their youth , until the lasting reunion forever , resulting in a seamless transition between the worlds of reality and dream . The movie's boldness and continuing appeal lie in its unhesitating and exulting acceptance of the primacy of love . Reputedly discovered by the French Surrealists and hailed by Andre Breton as the cinematic embodiment of his magnificent obsession with "L'amour fou" , the love that transcends all known obstacles. In fact , it is a gentler and more sensitive channelling of the libidinal surges of The Age of Gold by Luis Buñuel . As both of whom are able to live out their love story in a dream World when she comes to him for an eternal life. Main and support cast are frankly excellent as Gary Cooper , Anne Harding , John Halliday , Ida Lupino and Douglas Dumbrille.
Here stands out the wonderful cinematography by Charles Lang Jr with plenty of lights and shades . The motion picture was competently directed by Henry Hathaway at his best . He was a good Hollywood craftsman who made all kinds of genres , such as : Adventure : Lives of a Bengal lancer , Circus World . Western : How the West was won, Sons of Katie Elder , North to Alaska , Nevada Smith , True Grit . Wartime : Raid on Rommel, Sundown, Desert Fox , among others . Rating : 7/10 . Better than average . The flick will appeal to Gary Cooper fans . Well worth watching .
