★★★★ · Charming with a serious twist · mmedefarge · 2025-09-05
Notice how Lancaster is always moving and relating to people in this movie. Also notice his classic way of expressing a whole interaction in one expression, the disgusted look he gives Dorothy McGuire as he goes up to confront the old man. Based on an actual forgery case.
