The Private Affairs of Bel Ami (1947)
Slightly wooden but interesting nonetheless
2 September 1999 - 9 out of 17 users found this review helpful.
Maupaussant's roaring tale of the rise of Duroy is tamed slightly in this version, with George Sanders bumbling rather scheming his way to the top. It's let down by some poor production values, although the dueling scene at the end is well handled. Worth watching for the shocking view of 'The Temptation of St Anthony' in ultra-modern colour (about three quarters the way through) alone.
