Featured review
A solid, well made film.
Flambeau has stolen ten valuable diamonds, Father Brown is intent on getting them back, and saving the criminal's soul.
Quite a fun adaptation this, I didn't quite know what to expect having watched it directly after the 1954 film starting Alec Guinness.
I quite liked the story, it looked pretty good, and for the most past was well made and well acted. Considering it dates back to 1934, I think it's quite nicely made, it's an attractive looking film, nice costumes and sets.
It's perhaps a little slow in parts, and as a non catholic, I felt it a little preachy at times, but then it was made a long time ago, so I can forgive that.
I rather liked Walter Connolly as the title character, I found him very believable, that right mix of Priest and Amateur sleuth, a good performance.
Paul Lukas, did a fair job as Flambeau, I'm not sure it was for most dynamic interpretation of the great thief.
Pretty good, 6/10.
