Description

A gambling craze is sweeping 19th-century St. Petersburg, yet a dashing Russian army captain (Anton Halbrook, The Red Shoes) is too impoverished to participate. But when he learns that an aging countess (Three-time Oscar- nominee Dame Edith Evans, The Whisperers) may hold the ultimate key to gambling riches, the desperate young officer will stop at nothing to steal the sinister secret for himself. When fortunes are won and lost with the turn of a card, will one man wager his very soul on a final twist of fate? Yvonne Mitchell (Demons of the Mind) co-stars in this brilliant British chiller directed by Thorold Dickinson (Gaslight), featuring extraordinary cinematography by Otto Heller (Peeping Tom, The Picross File) and based on the celebrated short story by Russian poet Alexander Pushkin (The Eagle). Special Features: -Audio Commentary by Film Critic Nick Pinkerton -Introduction by Martin Scorsese -An Analysis by Film Critic/Author Philip Horne -1951 Interview with Thorold Dickinson at the British Federation of Film Societies -1968 Screening Introduction by Thorold Dickinson -Theatrical Trailer

A Pushkin Classic in Spades!
I'm ashamed to say I'd never heard of the 1949 British film of Alexander Pushkin's classic story THE QUEEN OF SPADES until it popped up as a "suggestion" on Amazon. (Thanks, guys!) Turns out it's a brilliant adaptation, with the incomparable Dame Edith Evans in her film debut as the Countess. It also demonstrates the almost tangible power of black-and-white cinematography over color to capture the menace of the supernatural in every subtlety of light and shadow. A "must-see" for lovers of "Russian lit" and an old-fashioned ghost story. ... show more

Beautiful Print
With deep focus and lighting that rivals Citizen Kane, this is a triumph of British cinema. Kino did well to preserve this.

A Beautiful and Opulent Oddity, Must Viewing
I had this film on VHS and am thrilled to have it on DVD as it's one of my favorites. I was excited to have a commentary which is full of facts contributed by Philip Horne, but after 10 minutes found it hard to enjoy his somewhat deadly style of delivery and especially the howler mispronounciations of a host of names and titles that ought to have been vetted before being read. It's not something I'll listen to over and over but I'm glad to know the minute details of the film and its makers. ... show more

Melodrama Falls Well Short of Being a Classic
An interesting concept, based on the main character's idée fixe about becoming a successful gambler in order to win social acceptance in his circle, is squandered in a rather theatrical film where even the snow, in the exterior scenes, doesn't look remotely real. For the actors, many of whom were making their cinematic debuts, it's all posh British accents throughout even though the social milieu is meant to be St Petersburg in 1806! I found the movie to be contrived and I cannot understand why it is seen as a classic in some quarters, because the cinematography, dialogue and acting seem to be no better than average. ... show more
