A striking digital Technicolor restoration brings Ealing Films’ unique costume romance to vivid life. The tragedy of Princess Sophie Dorothea has a fine cast: Stewart Granger, Françoise Rosay, Frederick Valk, Peter Bull, Anthony Quayle, Michael Gough, Megs Jenkins, Miles Malleson, Guy Rolfe — plus superb work from ‘the voice’ Joan Greenwood, and a performance by Flora Robson that betters anything she did in Hollywood. The artful production is even stronger: Douglas Slocombe’s cinematography is as creative as that in Powell & Pressburger’s pictures. On Blu-ray from Powerhouse Indicator.
