Review of Golden Earrings

I have thoroughly enjoyed this film. I believe it has a magic touch,I see it as a wonderful fairy tale, with only minimal historical or topographical attachments, without paying any attention to plausibility or credibility or any such restricting considerations. It is the story of two completely dissimilar human beings, that experience a love above and beyond realism or logic,a love that unites them to the mysterious forces of nature, and leads them to create their own universe of beauty and happiness. Ray Milland was so wonderful (and so sexy) in this role, that requires a fine balance between comedy, drama and fairy tale stuff, and Marlene Dietrich had, for once, a warm and sincere role, that she plays to perfection, the prototype of a woman in love, who does everything for her man. I know the rumors about their mutual dislike, but honestly they matched perfectly together in this movie and this only proves how professionals both of them were.
