Two commentaries that are very informative by Greg Kimble and Jeanine Basinger suffer with the addition of Christopher Husted (who talks about the Bernard Herrmann score, but seems to relish telling tales of Bern's abrasive behavior) and Kenneth Geist (Joseph Mankiewicz biographer who does not seem to like the film at all, criticizing Gene's performance, simply mean comments of the actress playing grown up Anna, referring to Harrison as "corporeal" at least three times and basically being a bitch!). *****

I've never seen this, 5 stars is some high praise from you. Sounds like a feel good film for sure.
Too bad about the commentary. Very strange people recounting a film from 1947 would be attacking each other. Doesn't time heal all wounds? Unless the interviewer was trying to drag this stuff out of them? How old is much of this material for the commentary?
