I don't know that I'd go so far as to call it bizarre, but there are moments when it almost gets there, and probably really did feel that way in its day. You are so right, my eyes were always drawn to her in a scene, no matter who she was playing against. It's interesting seeing this after her later work like Stage Fright and Witness for the Prosecution, when she had a better idea of and grasp on her persona and talents.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480863610135936930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507748677937404511.post-12080456770050374362016-06-01T23:03:40.082-04:002016-06-01T23:03:40.082-04:00So true... von Sternberg really knew how to shoot ...So true... von Sternberg really knew how to shoot her so perfectly.

Cooper is dreamy in his lanky way and has a charisma that radiates as well but in a match up scene it's always she that you watch. It is within her not the character she plays which is why she was able to refine and adapt it through the years and was able to endure until she chose to walk away.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507748677937404511.post-45608799323311578312016-06-01T00:02:00.657-04:002016-06-01T00:02:00.657-04:00She was filmed beautifully by Sternberg and she wa...She was filmed beautifully by Sternberg and she was very daring for her time. Considering the gal like both sexes and was a predator in real life just adds to her mystique. I should see this film again because I kind of snickered at it especially when she walks onto the hot desert sun without her shoes to follow the CoopBirgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.com
