      <![CDATA[I saw that -- it perhaps explains how the son's best intentions do come off as a bit Oedipal, though of course we're on his side.<br /><br />Film Forum audiencs are the absolute worst, always, my screening was actually not bad -- in this movie the 50s movie talk is actually supposed to come off as stilted cheeriness, so it's maybe acceptable. Still, the tendency of Film Forum audiences to treat everything from Shadow of a Doubt to Army of Shadows as camp is probably a clue as to why Bruce Goldstein hardly ever programs Sirk movies.

      <![CDATA[This was the cruellest movie I've ever seen; not that it exploits the audience but Mason becomes the meanest American movie hero of all time. It was terrifying, too; Mason reading the Bible, using that pair of scissors to guide his eyes across the lines, kept me up most of the night.
