...Raskolnikov's "gradual regeneration," all, of course, through great suffering. The movie ends with a church hymn being sung in the background as Rene is led away in the police van. Lili is looking on, with tears in her eyes and an angelic smile on her face.

Although the entire cast performs laudably, the roles of Mary Magdelan and that of the Turkish Agha deserve special note, both for themselves and for the skill with which they are filled. The former experiences fully and convincingly the joys of virtue and of vice; the latter commits himself to detachment. Were his portrait drawn with less sympathy, a criticism of the Turk's detachment might be the biggest single answer in the movie...
