It's always interesting how doctored some of the older films sometimes feel. I have a feeling it has more to do with how much more stylized older films tend to be so that adjustments and changes made in post-production can sometimes feel tacked on. I get a greater sense of intention from older films.

I really enjoy your reviews and you've given me yet another film to add to the list of things to see. I've also got to get around to reading Jane Eyre. A crime for an English major, but I was never required to read it and so never did.
