Commentaire à la une
The only film directed by writer & producer Stanley Haynes (who committed suicide in 1958) is a relentless gothic melodrama based on the novel by Compton Mackenzie providing escape for housewives suffering the daily grind of life in austerity Britain into a world of stays and bustles and the grim satisfaction of seeing Sally Gray being let down by debonair but shallow artist Michael Wilding (who thinks "Domesticity is the enemy of art") and abused by pious bully Bernard Miles. It all ends in tears, thus enabling the ladies to return to their own drab lives feeling slightly better.
The occasionally witty dialogue is presumably what earned Peter Ustinov his 'additional dialogue' credit; while Hazel Court glows as Miss Gray's grave younger sister.
