this be an astoundingly good movie . i be neither a big claudette colbert fan nor one of orson welles i find her usually too cloy and chick flickish and him too morose and self important but they be fabulous together in this wonderful film . the character treat each other with great respect and dignity and the dialog be marvelous and sensitive subject matter like war be dealt with honestly and non ideologically . the triangle of welles and colbert and brent be very good . added bonus represent jarrod barkley from big valley in his first role ( he look exactly the same 20 year earlier ) . i do not know why tcm give this only two star . perhaps it not trashy enough for their devolving ethos . ten star .
