...to this excellent and comprehensive writeup. Roger Livesey, Anton Walbrook and Deborah Kerr were all superb on this one, with Livesey's on screen aging process very convincing! Walbrook's quiet monologue upon leaving his native country was very moving - like his final speech onstage in 'The Red Shoes'. Kerr wonderful and distinct in all three roles. I also enjoyed the extended display of protocol required for the duel. A film classic whose accolades are well-earned. Guess I'll scratch this one off my list of films to review.

My understanding is that "British Technicolor," as it was sometimes called, from roughly 1938 to the early 1950's, came about because the British did not have the lights, did not have enough lights, and could not spare the electricity to run them. They made up for it by elevating and contrasting colors. Ironically, I think few Hollywood Technicolor films of the period can match the color in the best of the British.
Good work, metalluk.
