The Queen of Spades
June 21st 2011 22:38
(1949) Anton Walbrook, Edith Evans, Yvonne Mitchell, Ronald Howard. Dir: Thorald Dickenson.
A poor soldier believes an old Countess once sold her soul to always win at cards, and wants her secret. Considering the mini-budget and troubled production this is a remarkably stylish and atmospheric picture. Though it holds back the ghostly happenings a little too long, Walbrook's conniving keeps you engaged.
