Prioritize:
An achingly quiet drama with the exquisite and beautiful Lída Baarová and, as always, more than skillful direction by Otakar Vávra, who was one of the few directors of his time who could shoot in a truly worldly style. I especially liked his thoughtful long shots - the opening one and the one from the roof. And even Hitchcock wouldn't be ashamed of the fish scene. ()
