Pleasantly surprised
"I've heard RN called underrated and under appreciated and I can see why. It's not the best or perfect but it's different from most. The story is lean but heavy in undertones and gives it weight and moves along well...."
💡 Did You Know?
Cinematographer Hal Mohr, who had previously photographed Marlene Dietrich in Destry Rides Again (1939), attempted to resign from the film because of 50-year-old Dietrich's insistence that he use lighting to make her look much younger than she actually was, and Mohr didn't think it was possible.
