It's a good book, too. Gene Tierney is so very beautiful. The whole film is beautiful though, I am crazy about technicolor. That was not really a romance, though. I guess between Cornell Wilde and Jean Crain.
Did you get the feeling, that Tierney's character would have been not a maniac with Vincent Price's character? Like he would have been strong enough to conquer her and put her in her place. Wilde's character was too namby pamby to handle her. I got the feeling Price would have not let her have her way and tell her who's who and what's what.
Lol, I don't know. It's just what I think whenever I watch it.
