Mike Figgis, a moviemaker whose
works I've admired, is seen re-
marking in a Criterion supple-
ment to the first Browning Ver-
sion (1951), of which he made
the second (1994), that Ratti-
gan's story has to do with "a
man who has somehow fallen out
of time with himself." This a-
perçu has the merit of applic-
ability to whole truckloads of
post-War theatre and cinema,
but has also a way of touch-
ing upon the custom of return-
ing home for the holidays, and
how suddenly one's in Paris.
