Title: please check out the original!!
Review: Cukor's film is a remake of a very fine UK original starring Anton Walbrook and directed in 1940 by Thorold Dickinson. The American release title was Angel Street. When MGM purchased the movie it was supposed that all negatives and prints were destroyed. Happily a print was rediscovered in the studio vaults. You can decide for yourself which version you prefer. There are some terrific performances in the British film, and brilliant directorial flourishes. Walbrook's particularly good as the cold-blooded husband pushing his frail wife (Diana Winyard) over the edge. Great atmosphere, wonderful supporting cast Enjoy!
