- Commentary: My mother has no memory of this movie, although it was she who recommended it to me, back in the days when I was reading obscure 'biographies' like Mika Waltari's The Egyptian. I had to haunt art movie theaters for it and was magnetized by Muni's performance in parts of this movie much as I was by Robert De Niro's stirring scene in Once Upon a Time in America.
I got the thing on sale, ridiculous price. I think it was the only copy. Otherwise, I would not thought to have purchased it. It's been quite a while, since before I went to Seattle, that I've seen the movie, so it exists larger than movie-life for me. It'll be interesting to see it again.
