This was definitely NOT one of Tyrone Power's greatest film performances. I'd even say it was his worst that I've seen. He was extremely wooden in most scenes. I did enjoy his scenes "healing" Gray with the power of suggestion (no pun intended lol). But to me the weirdest scene of the whole movie is when Maugham tells Power that Sophie has been murdered and Power registers no emotion whatsoever about the death of his fiancee!!!! Are you kidding me??? No one on earth would be that cool, calm, and collected about their fiancee's murder.
I think he was definitely the weakest actor of the entire movie. I could see someone like Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant, or Laurence Olivier in the role of Larry more than Tyrone Power. And I did love Power in Mark of Zorro, Blood and Sand, The Black Swan to name a few. Just not this one.
