CRAP ending!!

Amen!!!!

Movie girl: At the age of 11 or 12 I first saw this film. It was the early 60's and I recall our mother telling my older sister and me about the superb James Mason. The three of us sat enraptured before the TV set and I found myself watching the TV Guide for more James Mason and Ann Todd films. I was very impressed...

I re-watched and loved this film later in my mid-teens and had pretty much the same feeling of adoration and later as an adult.
At all 3 stages of my life I was very impressed by the superb James Mason's performance and the wonderful Ann Todd. As time went
on it seems that I am even more discerning in my judgment. Like my mother before
me I love this film. It embodies romance and charm.

And though there were many fine actors in the 1940's I do not think the depth of the film could ever have been enacted so well I read that The Seventh Veil along with Odd Man Out, were among James Mason's favorites of his wonderful and prestigious acting career..

I personally love the ending of the film - where Ann Todd loses the veil of uncertainty; she discovers her great love for her once strict guardian, Nicholas Cunningham. James Mason gives a marvelous performance as Nicholas. And conversely, Nicholas finally removes his invisible veil of dislike of love and intimacy. (This had been caused by his mother who had deserted her family when he was young). Now our Nicholas realizes his overwhelming love and admiration for his talented and beautiful ward.

Ann Todd gives a uniquely marvelous performance as the talented Francesca Cunningham who has reached a crossroads of her life as well.

When faced with the possibility of losing his ward, Nicholas begins to reveal his feelings. The same holds true of Francesca, though she mistakenly runs away twice (with a different man). Later Francesca sees her true feelings which lifts her "heavy veil of depression". These two are madly in love and will marry soon!
