I saw this with some lovely friends at the Singapore Botanic Gardens this breezy evening and oh... How I love old school cinema! This film was stage-adapted thus it was really minimal- there were only two sets used. Loved the dialogue, the thrills, twists and turns in the plot, as well as the convincing characters. The inspector was my favourite one as he added the comic element. Grace Kelly simply needed to look absolutely flawlessly gorgeous, while the rest battled it out for their fates and hers. Just annoyed that the women (in those times and maybe even now) have always been portrayed as naive, gullible and ridiculously dependent on their husbands. Not too many sunday evenings to spend like this in Singapore anymore! We've also seen Le Petite Nicolas. Such a lovely feel good film from the french. It renewed my faith in mankind and restored the warm fuzzy feeling in my heart. Do check it out.
