This is like something out of Dostoevsky or Balzac or Émile Zola. A truly gripping story of corruption, betrayal and yes - love. The complex characters are masterfully played, the cinematography is convincingly Victorian and all the plot devices orchestrate a realistic crime story. The costumes worn by Ray Milland and Moira Lister seem a little bit uneven, his is more like late 19th century and hers has some 18th century overtones, so they looked odd standing next to each other, but that's the only flaw which maybe isn't even there. The overall atmosphere and production are so good that I don't know why I have to be such a stick in the mud. Oscar Wilde would have loved the story, particularly some of the quotes.
