7/10
Lush, dramatic, and intense
3 July 2018
Whoever thought control could look so handsome? In The Seventh Veil, Ann Todd comes under the control of her music teacher and guardian James Mason, and even though he's incredibly overwhelming, he's also incredibly handsome. He insists she devote her entire life to her piano playing and prevents her from having any form of a social life. As in many stories of this kind, the well-intentioned trainer becomes overbearing, and the meek pupil loses it.

Ann Todd is very convincing as weak and meek, and James Mason is very convincing as being intense and controlling. When the main characters are written and performed well, you're off to a good start. This isn't normally my favorite time of love story, but since James Mason is so handsome, it's easy to forgive him and hope he gets the girl. Give it a watch and see if you agree!
