'Enchantment' this is the third Rumer Godden novel I have seen as film - Powell
and Pressburger's 'Black
Narcissus' and Jean Renoir's 'The River'
are the other 2.... and this was a very close third in satisfaction. Beautiful
love story with World War as the backdrop... Teresa Wright, who I have always
been in love with, and David Niven... mixed time lines from past to present
detail two unique and engrossing stories of fatalistic passion and unrequited
love. I was reminded of "In
the Mood For Love" and Melvyn Le Roy's "Waterloo
Bridge" (another favorite film). I am strongly recommending this
one. Gary Tooze |

This has pretty good image quality - better than I would expect from MGM. good contrast - a little bit of grain - and adorable Teresa Wright! Subtitles are unfortunately yellow, there are no extras save a trailer, but again the price sure is right. For fans of Rumer Godden novels. ('The River' and 'Black Narcissus') this is an easy decision.
Gregg Toland's
cinematography is masterful. We strongly recommend the film, but wish
MGM had not gone 'bargain-basement again'. At least it is HD-tape
sourced and has original audio. |
