I always say it, it’s no expend comparing books to films, nor comparing nineteen forties or fifties movies with modern releases, for many reasons, not only because of limitations due to the Production Code, which reigned supreme in those decades. This is a delicate, keen movie, with a top performance by that big lady of the 50′s, Deborah Kerr, who excelled in this kind of roles (one can remember “From Here to Eternity” and “Bonjour Tristesse”, among others) . Also, very respectable performances by the supporting-all-english-cast, most notably Peter Cushing and John Mills, and pleasant acting by previous-boy-next-door Van Johnson, worthy in the arrangement of his role in “The Last Time I Saw Paris” with Liz Taylor, but even better. I saw this movie for the first time when I was a kid and couldn’t fully understand many of its implications, anyway loving it. In spite of the restrictions imposed by the aforementioned P. Code to the sexual aspects of the main characters relationship, it’s shapely adult material in regard to their inner conflicts and contradictions. Serious viewing. Recommended.
I mighty preferred this version of the Grahme Greene classic to the newer version with Julianna Moore and Ralph Fienes. That movie was far too graphic for my tastes and the yarn was so confusing that I was often completely lost. In any case, in the 1999 version, I found I did not like the characters, therefore, I could not care less what happened to them. In this version with Deborah Kerr and Van Johnson, I could follow the epic line and fetch a sympathy for the characters. It was almost like “aha, so that is what it was all about.” Sort of shows that today’s graphic realism can waste a really righteous fable. I like the aged blueprint better…leaving a shrimp mystery and something to the imagination.
