Overrated but still has strengths.

This film is overrated but it still has some very special moments within it. The film does have the flaws of much of the acting is too theatrical, and overacting, or simply incredibly dull underacting. Still Orson Welles himself gives as fairly strong performance, as does his long time main stay Joseph Cotton. The film does tell an interesting story of a man, with its incredibly unique look that simply cannot be copied. It is another classic film where the subtlety of the film grows on you, there are glaring flaws, and the reception is too positive but there are definite strengths.
