Drama

Loosely inspired from Gauguin's life, the story of Charles Strickland, a middle-aged stockbrocker who abandons his middle-classed life, his family, his duties to start painting, what he has always wanted to do. He is from now on a awful human being, wholly devoted to his ideal: beauty. (imdb)

Lewin--like his mentor Thalberg--is too cautiously genteel in his approach to create real art. Nevertheless, this movie deserves credit for making a real attempt to understand the singlemindedness of the artist and to accept--if not excuse--his failures as a human being. George Sanders gives one of his least suave and yet most powerful performances.

Nobody better to follow his own selfish boredom than George Sanders. Sanders is both admirable and loathsome. A surprisingly deep philosophical movie on the male species based on the writings of W. Somerset Maugham. The whole thing was rewarding to me.
