His films are great to the senses. The middle part of the film, however, was a bit of a downer, especially given the incredible beginning & climax. And the overacting bit in the courtroom scene could have been avoided. It thus somehow failed to affect me in the way the movies I give 5-star ratings do. I do appreciate and respect your opinion though.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-63862332754892018752010-06-19T19:34:10.605+05:302010-06-19T19:34:10.605+05:30This is five star for me.

Still watching this back to back with another noir by a more pedestrian director like say...Henry Hathaway, shows the incredible talent Welles possessed. His mise en scene is never dull and always bursting with perfect visualization......M.RocaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
