A complex story I felt they managed to shoehorn nicely into screen sensation. The sensation which Gene Tierney's performance was responsible for. Her intensity to Tyrone Power's calm and Herbert Marshall's observing commentary was a sight to behold. Almost making the room vibrate beyond the screen. I honestly wasn't expecting much at first. Felt like a solid drama, but it did a great job of manipulating the mood to the heights it delivered. Excellent work by Edmund Goulding.

Somerset Maugham created a great story, but this telling is a little too melodramatic.

Wow, this was a hard one to sit through. It's about two and a half hours long, and rather soapy. Not a bad story though in the end, despite Tyrone Power philosophizing with Himalayan gurus and other silliness. As the movie progressed I couldn't help wondering why Gene Tierney's character would obsess over an irksome airhead like Larry Darrell.
