THE FINEST

FILM I'VE EVER SEEN...AND I'VE GOT ABOUT 650 IN COLLECTION AND HAVE VIEWED HUNDREDS MORE FROM HOLLYWOOD'S GRANDEST ERA AND UP TO THE PRESENT. I DON'T THINK A WEEK PASSES THAT I DON'T THINK OF THIS FILM. THAT'S ART. THIS UNFORTUNATE MAN CONQUERS ALL INCLUDING HIMSELF. IT'S HARD TO CONCEIVE THAT GRANT IS ACTING AS HE IS SO ENTIRELY AND DEEPLY AFFECTED. NEVER HEARD A BETTER NARRATION THAT WAS SO UTTERLY SUITABLE. A SECOND PLACE NARRATION WOULD PROBABLY BE THE SHORT "GRINCH" FILM WITH BORIS KARLOFF. AT ABOUT 80 MINUTES, IT'S PERFECT. IF THE HUMAN RACE WERE TO FLAME OUT I THINK JACK ARNOLD'S MASTERPIECE WOULD BE THE ONE TO LEAVE IN SOME TIME CAPSULE OR THE LIKE. DON'T BOTHER TO ARGUE. FIRST VIEW THIS FILM AT LEAST TWICE AND THEN YOU'LL KNOW I COULDN'T BE MORE ACCURATE.
