Orson Welles tops European epic in a lush spectacle
Dudley Early reviews a United Artists film directed by Gregory Ratoff with Orson Welles in the lead. Welles dominates the screen from his first scene, playing a hypnotist involved in a plot against Marie Antoinette, with Nancy Guild duplicating the dauphine. The plot, love triangle, and courtroom sequence provide spectacle despite a weak evidentiary courtroom portion. The piece also notes a second State Theater screening and a different Treasury Department crime film starring Yul Brynner, with mixed to positive regard but conventional execution.
