“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it seemed to have a decent reputation, I thought I might as well check it out.

Eventually, as far as I’m concerned, the only thing which was really noteworthy was Laurette Taylor. Indeed, she was actually pretty good, even if she was probably the only interesting actor from this otherwise rather dull cast.

Apparently, she would only play in a few movies after this one but she was considered as one of the greatest stage actresses of all time, no less than that.

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. To be honest, it is one of those rare movies which, while I was watching it, I was constantly wondering how on Earth it did actually end up in my queue. The fact that” read more
