Olivia
- Commentary: Under construction.
I am really looking forward to this film! I discovered it this morning as I was looking through a list of films released in 1951 (my birth year) after having catalogued films already in my collection that were released in that year. There's quite a bit of information about this unusual sounding film (unusual for its time, anyway) and I became so intrigued that I decided, despite it being a bit pricey, I'd like to not only watch it but add it to my collection.
I'm a bit concerned, actually, because of a few buyer comments at a few sites that mention that the quality of the packaging, and the disc, itself, left something to be desired, but all those comments are some years old, so, you know, we'll see. If necessary, I can always contact the seller for a better copy. I really hope I don't need to do that, though.
While the descriptions I've read of the movie are provocative, I haven't gotten much of a sense of what it's "about", except that it takes place in a girls' school and involves intertwining relationships among teachers and students.
Anyway, I should be receiving it shortly and will watch it as soon as I receive it. And report back. Of course.
