This 1947 film has not lost its lustre over time, and the Criterion DVD delivers good images. It was mostly shot in a studio in the UK, and yet when I first saw this film I was fooled into believing that there had to be some mountainous outtakes. This film is a visual feast, thanks to good camera work and excellent lighting. The two leading ladies, Kerr and Byron, held up the films well while being ably supported by David Farrar. Black Narcissus is about flesh against the soul at 9,000 ft. A film that should be viewed multiple times over one's lifespan.
