A local man, Salvatore (Kieron Moore), has since a boy been employed by the deceased uncle becoming major domo and he now manages the villa and its vineyard. Exploring her late uncles' studio, Ellen uncovers a painting of a nude Salvatore as Bacchus. Soon Ellen becomes drawn to the carefree life of the locals and the romantic charisma of Salvatore, while the prudish Agnes resists. During the raucous revelry of the grape-treading festival, Agnes succumbs to her suppressed desire. Rushing to the balcony she cries out for Salvatore who drops Ellen and climbs from the grape vat and to her bed. The pair are quickly married, and husband Salvatore now is master of the estate. Soon, Ellen becomes aware of a change in Salvatore's behaviour towards Agnes. Not long after the marriage, Agnes' health begins to deteriorate and Ellen's suspicions are aroused. She expresses her concerns to a visiting English doctor, Benjamin Dench (Guy Middleton) who is Agnes's former fiance'. Ellen is convinced that Agnes is being poisoned. She enlists Dench's help in trying to prove that Salvatore is slowly murdering her sister with arsenic. The villa once belonged to Salvatore's family and he has long been determined to regain ownership. Having poisoned his employer to inherit he had not anticipated the sisters arrival on the scene. The film culminates in a clifftop struggle between Salvatore and Dench, who beats Salvatore and tells him to leave at once or face the consequences. Ellen and Dench return to the villa to tend the sickened and weak Agnes. Suddenly they learn that Salvatore is dead. His body is borne from the bay by villagers, having cast himself from the clifftop in despair rather than lose his family property. Ellen and Dench, who have fallen in love, depart together and leave the recovered Agnes who is determined to remain at the villa and to fulfil her dead husbands' wishes restoring the vineyard. 3 x 1600 Reels Mint Original Kodak Print BBFC cert £130.00 |

THE LIFE, LOVES AND ADVENTURES OF OMAR KHAYYAM (1956) Paramount Studios Vistavision Technicolor Feature ~ sumptious near-mint LPP colour Cornel Wilde - Debra Paget - Michael Rennie - Raymond Massey Directed by William Dieterle - Music Score by Victor Young EXCELLENT
settings and
costumage, entertainingly photographed. Cornel Wilde may seem too
subdued to be the swashbuckler, but he plays the gentle poet and
scholar foremost, a quiet and stolid center around which tumultuous
events unfold and chase each other. A stellar cast supports him---Debra
('The Ten Commandments') Paget as the great love of his life, Raymond
('Things to Come') Massey as the dignified yet wry old Shah, John ('The
Ten Commandments') Derek as handsome young Prince Malik, and---as
Omar's old schoolmates---the always endearing Sebastian ('Family
Affair') Cabot as the minister Nizam al-Mulk, and Michael ('The Day the
Earth Stood Still') Rennie as the imposing, capable Hassan-i Sabah.
Other colorful characters keep things hopping---a scheming Queen, her
petulant son and half-brother to Malik, a timid but loyal slave girl
and, just when you think it can't get any better---Edward ('Get Smart')
Platt as a prior in the sect known commonly as the 'Assassins', who
menace the Shah's rule from within while the Byzantine Romans threaten
from without.
