Wings of the Dove, The


Rating = A

I loved the sets, the music, and the costumes of this movie set in the early 1900s. I also cared about the three lead characters, which is curious, since they are all involved in veiled but harsh exploitation of each other, which can't help but backfire in a variety of ways. The lead exploiter is as hard a woman as I have ever seen portrayed on the screen, yet she somehow comes off symphathetically.
