The Light Touch [1951] [DVD]Stewart Granger (actor) George Sanders (actor)
Format: all-region dvd (worldwide) Runtime: 93 min Quality: Digital (TCM)
Writer and director Richard Brooks, who would go on to better things, fails to bring a light touch to this predictable bag of clichés, which stars Pier Angeli as a young artist working for suave art dealer George Sanders.
Sanders turns out not to be what he seems and, before she can say "palette-knife", the innocent girl finds herself involved with Stewart Granger (also not what he seems), with whom she naturally falls in love.
The locations are rather more worthy of attention than the plot, which gets her mixed up with international art-thieving, forgery and smuggling. |
