Glowing, gorgeous Merle Oberon
27 December 2002 | by (Silver Spring, Maryland, USA) – See all my reviews

I don't fall in love easily, but Merle Oberon captured my heart. I was struck dumb every moment that she was on the screen. This is a beautifully directed movie with great crowd scenes and luscious close-ups. The plot is unlikely, but the emotions are true to life. Memorable.
