On DVD at home with Lucía on 28 May 2009, pretty late at night.
I’ve seen Jean Gabin in a number of films now, and while he plays a wide range of characters, he always has a sort of self-assurance about him, much like Humphrey Bogart. This is the first film I’ve seen him perform in English, and it kind of makes me wish he’d done more of them.
Moontide is a most unusual story. Jean Gabin and Ida Lupino are both excellent, as is Claude Rains, although the film takes certain awkward twists and turns, and there is something sort of incomprehensible about all of the relationships.
Lucía: B
Jun-Dai: B-
