The Moon and Sixpence
1942, English. Directed by Albert Lewin.
Strange DREAMS - He had ideas he never told her about...He didn't dare!
Loosely inspired from Gauguin's life, the story of Charles Strickland, a middle-aged stockbrocker who abandons his middle-classed life, his family, his duties to start painting, what he has always wanted to do. He is from now on a awful human being, wholly devoted to his ideal: beauty.
