When the ghost becomes really threatening, God intervenes and pays a call on Maurice. Yes, God-in the form of a pale, silky-haired young man with a "not very trustworthy face." Thoroughly shaken, Maurice reels on to an equivocal denouement. His dream of a sexual threesome is achieved with disastrous domestic consequences. He eventually exorcises the ghost but is left haunted hy what he sees when he looks in the mirror. "Death was my only means of getting away for good," he reflects, "from the constant awareness of this body, from this person, with his ruthlessness and sentimentality...

When she reaches out to pull the hair of her rival or burn the manuscript of the man she loves, her body lurches and twists in a jumble of conflicting drives to do the thing, not do it, and dissemble by doing something else. Her pale, strained face is a screen on which the shadow of one inner demon masters another, only to be mastered by a third. In keeping with the cinematically fluid rhythms of the production, Miss Smith cuts and dissolves from mood to mood like some dazzling montage sequence in a Bergman film...
