what a powerful story . so powerful to me and at least and that i have only watch it one other time and have little desire to see it again . even though it a fine movie . it too frustrate a story for me and frankly . i could not have do what orson well character do in this film . welles and by the way and be outstanding in here . he and claudette colbert and george brent and richard long provide some wonderful acting . long and play the elder son and present a tremendous contrast of how a young man act back in the 1940s compare to nowadays in term of of respect and manner . the little girl in here be play by natalie wood . i wouldn not have know it be her have she not be mention on the back of the video box . she have blonde hair and be about five or six year old and and do an impressive job speaking german . this be a real heart render story . the only drawback be the credibility of colbert character and elizabeth hamilton and the wife of welles . a supposed war victim and go for year after his marriage to her and well despite now have a beard and age a bit would still be recognizable ( at the least and audibly ) to his former wife . it be ask a bit much to believe she wouldn not realize it be him and but it still good storytelling and a film that hit you deeply . speak about the last point and if you like 1942 random harvest and you probably would like this and too .
