Dragonwyck

Totally stumbled on the film Dragonwyck due to my interest in Gene Tierney. Some people carry on about how she was the most beautiful woman who ever acted in film. I can't see it, but her work is awesome and her life was very interesting (See Self Portrait by Gene Tierney).

Dragonwyck features Vincent Price, Walter Huston, Spring Byington, Harry Morgan, and Jessica Tandy, along with Tierney. This is an over the top Gothic movie, set in New England rather than the Cotswalds, or where ever else they have in England. This was Joseph Mankewitz's directorial debut, it was produced by Ernest Lubitch, and featured other Hollywood luminaries such as Alfred Newman and Arthur C. Miller. It also showcases a hair-raising performance by Connie Marshall as Vincent Price's daughter, who without a doubt has an impaired capacity for object relations.

Great date flick!
