Review of Dragonwyck (1946) by Ted W — 05 Nov 2015

In was so impressed with the mood and performances in this. Everyone is at the top of their game. Byington is a scene stealer, much like Anderson's Mrs. Danvers in Rebecca. Tierney is gorgeous and Huston is forceful.

But Price has the hardest job of all, walking the tightrope of love/hate/hero/villain with a dexterity I couldn't predict. Price got by on charisma in a lot of movies, particularly in his later years.

This one is a star-making turn.
