Got me a keeper copy and made more "discoveries" during the first three viewings than in most films. Kidman never looked better. Bacall was superb. Danny Huston had just the right look for a guy who's not accustomed to competition or losing. And, Arliss is one of my B-movie faves. Heche is always good but dowdied up a bit for her role--didn't understand that.The dark lighting and outstanding soundtrack made this a very moody experience. Also, I thought that Kidman's act of contrition was waaay over the top. I'm sure most women will think so.
Too bad the critics killed this one. It has a lot of merit.

Follow Ups:
When the woman(Heche) went to the park to bury the "gift", the kid was following her. I didn't even notice at first.My wife has a way of figuring out movies way too quickly.
She called THE VILLAGE ending just a few minutes in too. Although that one was pretty obvious.
I noticed that scene in my viewing. But the connection did not occur to me until the secret was revealed. Rather not say more untl Rico watches the film.
early on at some point my wife said; "whatever she buried, the kid dug up and was able to..." i asked "how do you know that?" she says "he was following her into the park"
i hadn't even noticed!!she was absolutley dead on.
for the record I really enjoyed the movie too.
my wife over-analyzes everything in movies. i think its the english teacher in her.
i just kind of take the whole movie in and then think about it at the end. watching with her can be tough sometimes
There is still a couple of things that are unanswered. Most obvious: the woman who told her there was no Santa Claus.In the beginning, we never saw the boy watching--he was just gone at the same time.
