Deborah Kerr played a nun in Black Narcissus ; Robert Mitchum has done no fewer than four tours of duty as a cinema serviceman. Under Huston's sharp eye, they both give good standard performances. Actress Kerr, whose makeup man went a bit too far with the cloistral pallor, sometimes looks as if she had cut her veins as well as her hair; but Actor Mitchum, even though as usual he does nothing but slob around the screen, has succeeded for once in carrying...
