Flesh And Fantasy - 1943 - 6/10

Follow-thru film to 1942’s Tales Of Manhattan.
Three stories of Fate, disguises, palm reading, premonitions.
The opener during masked Mardi Gras is the most romantic, perhaps the weakest.
Next is the misfortune of a dire palm, based on an Oscar Wilde story.
Nice camerawork here, watching Edward G. Robinson argue with himself.
Finale of aerialist suffering premonition, then meeting the girl from his dream.
Charles Boyer and Barbara Stanwyck as star-crossed lovers.
Fine anthology, lacks the powerhouse cast and snap of the first film.
