Great review, Paddy. I saw this one for the first time not too long ago, I really enjoyed it. I loved Joseph Cotten’s performance in this one. Thanks so much for bringing this unsung film to the blogathon.

With 132 acting credits to his name I’m a little lost as to where to start with the work of Joseph Cotten. Hopefully your blogathon can give me some pointers.

Hi Maddy🌷😊
I wanted so badly to finish this blog on Cotton. I just love him. I even accidentally published the rough draft. I deleted it of course but not before a couple readers told me the link didn’t work. I guess Joseph Cotton has a lot of fans.
Anyway, right now I am the care giver of an elderly and very sick sister. My free time is nil right now.
I hope things will get better in the near future, but, until then, my life is temporarily on hold.
I do plan on finishing this post and others I have worked on. I apologize for breaking my commitment to your Blogathon…if a miracle happens and I can complete this post by tomorrow, I would be so relieved 😌
Thank you for the opportunity to post in this Blogathon; and, I hope you will Welcome a post from me in future Blogathons. I wish you and other bloggers much success; and, I look forward to reading your posts. Xx

You really are the queen of queens of blogathon land, Maddy. The perfect way to spot light stars on to us who have lesser knowledge of these great movies. I know him from The Third Man and Soylent Green plus a few I see he was in but didn’t realise, like Twilight’s Last Gleaming and Airport 77. So I need to up my game, so here’s a great place to get some tips. Cheers everyone.
