Director: Walter Reisch
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Producer Alexander Korda roped in Walter Reisch, an old pal from his Viennese days, to direct; hired top US cameraman Charles Rosher (who'd worked on Murnau's Sunrise); lured over Hollywood luminary Hopkins, and bolstered the cast with British stage stalwarts, but to no avail - this yarn about a stenographer who falls for a married actor (he contemplates strangling his wife during a performance of Othello) remains throwaway, novelettish nonsense.Author: GM
