There is no way the production code would have allowed her to kill the boy. But this is still a very suspenseful sequence.
Cukor is on par with Hitchcock here.
Also has echoes of "A Separate Peace." A very powerful scene.

No background music. No dialogue when she almost killed Lars-Erik.

He's insane.

Love the sleigh ride.
Such a heart-pounding action sequence.
Again, we have Cukor finding his inner Hitchcock.

Again, we have Cukor finding his inner Hitchcock. Yes, plus a little bit of "Ben Hur" mixed in.

Crawford and Douglas made three films together: THE SHINING HOUR (1938), A WOMAN'S FACE (1941) and THEY ALL KISSED THE BRIDE (1942).

"You couldn't marry me."
"Have I asked you to marry me?"
Nice

I was barely aware of Douglas until last week's, "Captains Courageous," now he's a new favorite.
Thanks for this pick, Topbilled. i was mesmerized the whole way.

Funny fact: I thought I had seen this one a long time ago, but now I'm 99% sure I hadn't. It all felt fresh with no deja vu.
Great choice, Topbilled.

Same here! I thought I had seen it, but I couldn't have forgotten the sleigh race.
