You guys missed a pretty interesting movie. James Mason is driven crazy by an experimental medication but everyone is so afraid of the category of mental illness that his family and friends conspire to keep his condition as secret as they can. At one point Mason sees his reflection a mirror and with just a few gestures wonderfully expresses his developing grandiosity. Wonderful scene. Whoever picked this knew what they were doing.
Same movie made today would have pointed the narrative in the opposite direction. |
