Interesting Movie Movie Lover: from The Bijou US -- September, 9, 2008

I think the basic problem with The Torch is that sadly Paulette Goddard was just a bit too old to play the title character, yet this movie is very similar to what would become known as a spagehtti western in the 1960s. Beautifully filmed, it would be interesting to see this in color had it been produced so.
