Love what she's wearing at the 32 minute mark.

Yes, I'm seeing another man in the afternoons more tea? I know, how do you do that? I'd be horrible at having an affair. I'd fall apart in a second.

Rains is really doing a fine job in this role. His acting is better than ever.

I can't believe Lean and his cinematographer are shooting Trevor Howard from his bad side in some shots...the images with the actor's facial markings take me out of the scene...it makes me appreciate how Claudette Colbert would insist on being shot only from the best angles/sides.
Doesn't the performer owe it to the audience to make sure they are filmed in the most flattering way possible...? The flip, as an actor, he might feel doesn't care. Bette Davis often felt that way. But most actors think exactly as you propose.

This theatre business is so sad, and now so awkward with the three of them.

I love how Rains' character is kind of a "bitch" (for lack of a better word). He's on to them, and he's following that old saying "keep your friends close and keep your enemy closer."

You can see how they built up Howard's shoulders in his suits and suppressed his waist to give him a strong "V" shape, while doing none of that for Rains.

This theatre business is so sad, and now so awkward with the three of them. It's killing me. And I'm just watching it in a movie.

At least this is now out in the open.

Mathieson went a little overboard on the dramatic music when Howard walks out after the affair is revealed.

"Don't you see that you two together are dangerous?"
"You just have to keep away from each other."

So, is Howard wearing a toupee? Just noticed it looks that way up close.

For a Hollywood remake, I would have kept Rains and reunited him with his NOTORIOUS costars, Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant.
Bergman would have really played up the romantic suffering of this woman.
Grant's physicality would have been in line with what women (and gay men) in the audience would have wanted.
