Mr. Shunderson is a mysterious person from Noah’s past. You may think that Shunderson "the bat" is scary.
This movie is a remake of "Frauenarzt Dr. Prätorius" (1950). Luckily it is much better than the original. Watching the train scene made me want to go "beep beep" or was that "beep beep beep?" This is one of those movies that just works. You can not pull it apart as each actor was excellent for his or her character. The music they played was Brahms’ "Academic festival overture" what else would you play for this sort of movie?
See Julia Dean "Old Woman" (who tell the tale of Doc Praetorious) again as Julia Farren in "The Curse of the Cat People"
Mankiewicz' biggest shortcoming was always his chattiness, even in so fine a film as 'All About Eve'. A lot of talk goes on in 'People Will Talk' and far from all of it is too the point, but rather strives to give well-meaning lectures on how to live your life, a badly-disguised jab, it seems, at the conformity and blatant anti-Communism in America in those years. It's certainly all very entertaining, but Mankiewicz loses dramatic focus at every turn as the characters leap in all directions.
Don't go to this film in your search for forgotten masterpieces, but watch it for delicious performances by Grant and Walter Slezak and Evil Über-Doctor Hume Cronyn.
