Aro Recommended Queen of Spades

 

UK 1949, 95 minutes
Dir. Thorold Dickinson
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Classics, Horror, Drama

 

Aroview: Expressionistic ghost story in which an obsessive army officer in 18th Century Russia becomes convinced an elderly countess has gained the ability to win every card game, leading him into a satanic web of madness.

Based on the novel by Alexander Pushkin, this unheralded British masterpiece from the dir. of GASLIGHT (1940) features another excellent performance by Anton Walbrook and achieves a striking grandeur on a very low budget.
