While June Duprez’s beauty cannot be denied, there was something very special and specific about her look in the 1940 fantasy classic, “The Thief of Baghdad”. Cinematography, makeup / hair, and costuming all came together to produce a character whose beauty stands the test of time.

Rewatching And Then There None — I always forget what a great, ridiculously solid cast of legendary character actors this movie has.

Da waren's nur noch.... Das Plakat ist für einen "Wen erwischt es als nächsten?"-Krimi ungewöhlich präzis gespielverderbert, die Frage ist aber natürlich "Wer war's?", und konkreter für Bearbeitungen des archetypischen Agatha-Christie-Romans "Wieviele lassen sie übrig?", aber das wissen wir ja inzwischen auch. Zur Überbrückung, weil wir erst in 18 Jahren wieder The Mousetrap anschauen können (vgl. hier).
