After (Sidney Greenstreet) Count Fosco get off scot-free with his villainy, it is the vendetta society that actually gets him.

It took a while, but I knocked off "The Moonstone", one of the first true mystery novels. It was worth it, but it was L-O-N-G. My wife read that and "No Name" as well. Collins is like a Dickens who is trying too hard. I also wouldn't trust him alone with my daughters.

Sidney Greenstreet was also in “Between Two Worlds” 1944. Very good movie.
