Trivia
In his autobiography, Sir Christopher Lee clearly states that this was his first film, although in the same paragraph he says that the star of the film was Eric Porter, when it was really Eric Portman. While unsure of the mis-spelling of Eric Portman's surname in this autobiography, it is correct that this is Lee's debut movie. It was released in the U.K. March 10, 1948 and was not released in the United States until July 24, 1948.

Great cinematography

I saw that one of my favorite film critics Eddie Muller insisted that this be shown at one of his Noir City Film Festivals even though it wasn't a noir. He said it was too good looking and had been obscure for far too long to not show to film lovers. I have to agree that it looks fantastic.

A woman who is already cheating on her husband decides to flirt with another man who is a weird dandy hipster obsessed with horse buggies and mirrors and speaks in obtuse quips. To up his weirdness, he's convinced he's a reincarnation of a 15th century member of the Borgias family.

Apart from the standard 40s silly melodrama and the very strange flashback that is most of the movie, the cinematography was outstanding. Especially during the 15th century Venetian party where most of the interesting action occurs. The overall look felt very French and sure enough when I looked to see who had lensed it, it was a Frenchman named Andre Thomas who worked in pre WWII France and Germany before fleeing to England to work in the film industry.
