Will all due respect, it seems to me that there are an excess of Chinese movie uploads, there being such a wide world to offer. Thanks for the rest of the movies.

Claudette Colbert's kind nun tries to help Ann Blyth's evil girl. Director Douglas Sirk's film noir crime mystery Thunder on the Hill (1951) is fascinating. It's ominous and atmospheric with shadows cast everywhere. It's interesting to me that Douglas Sirk was directing film noir pictures before his legendary run of romantic melodramas in the 1950s. He always had a striking visual aesthetic and sympathy for his heroines. The fog over the floodwaters that's surrounded by dead trees is such a cool image, only lit by moonlight. Thunder on the Hill has tons of midnight meetings and eerie bogs. Bernard Herzbrun and Nathan H. Juran's shadowy film noir aesthetics make their art direction striking. The constant thunder and silky camera movements of cinematographer William H. Daniels are dazzling. Writers Oscar Saul and Andrew Solt adapt Charlotte Hastings' dark story of murder and mistakes. I found Thunder on the Hill fully engaging and full of interesting female performances from Claudette Colbert and Ann Blyth, especially. It's funny to have the lead detective on a case be a curious nun. Claudette Colbert is very kind and compelling as the heroine Sister Mary, who fancies herself a detective at finding the truth. I found Colbert intriguing and likable with a smart intelligence and patient personality. Ann Blyth is glamorous as the femme fatale Valerie Carns. Her gentle piano playing is dreamy like her dark eyes and forlorn manner. Ann Blyth is totally captivating in Thunder on the Hill. Her dramatic acting is very realistic and touching for 1951 standards. She's clearly upset at being called a murderess, but has a vulnerable side that's very cute and endearing. Robert Douglas is oddly nervous as Dr. Jeffreys. He snoops around and makes me suspicious. Anne Crawford is strange and compelling as the mysterious woman Isabel Jeffreys. Gladys Cooper is solid as the tough Mother Superior. Michael Pate is good as the brutish fool Willie, who can be gentle and helpful. Connie Gilchrist is funny as the ever complaining nun Sister Josephine. Phyllis Stanley is very mean as Nurse Phillips. Editor Ted J. Kent has slick cuts that keep Thunder on the Hill 84 minutes. His stylish cutting lets scenes flow easily. Set decorators John P. Austin and Russell A. Gausman makes a nun's convent and stuff it with furniture for all the large cast of extras. Composer Hans J. Salter's tremendous film score is symphonic thunder to be boisterous and eerie like Thunder on the Hill's dark tone. Costume designer Bill Thomas gives Ann Blyth cute suits and the other ladies nun's garments. Bud Westmore is pretty on Blyth's lovely face and everyone else looks haggard. Joan St. Oegger's stunning haircut for Ann Blyth is quite becoming and every other cast member has awful grisly cuts to make them look rougher. In short, Thunder on the Hill is an intriguing film noir picture full of shadows and secrets.
