Thank you to everyone for the kind comments - I'm really glad everyone seemed to enjoy this movie - but it was Topbilled who convinced me to go with "Madeleine" and not "Witness for the Prosecution" as he, rightfully, argued Todd had so much more screen time in this one. During one of the dance scenes the camera never left her face as she did an allemande through the other dancers, it was very impressive. She really is David Lean's muse.

I openly admit it was Todd's arresting beauty that first caught my attention, but she's held it with her talent. I agree with you on Lean, too, while he went through wives like most of us go through milk cartons, I have a feeling he deeply loved whomever he was with when he was with them.

THE PARADINE CASE is also an interesting film...after watching MADELEINE earlier, I reviewed Ann Todd's filmography. Not surprisingly there are a bunch of British pictures she made in the 1930s that I haven't seen.
One that I have seen, from 1948, is DAYBREAK. It's an engaging British noir costarring Eric Portman, and I certainly recommend it to those who haven't had the pleasure of seeing it yet.
