Stanley Donen, the great director who made fine films truly went downhill and ' Staircase ' was an example of how low he had fallen, and sadly in its trite way is this film. Ingrid Berman, who should have known better after the films she made with Rossellini should have known better than to accept this awful script. Cary Grant is cold and two cold performances cannot generate any heat. Neither Bergman or Grant help each other to create a spark, and the snobbery of the film is often offensive. The only story I wanted to know was that of the man in the lift who had to keep on pressing the button for them as they were too lazily important to do it for themselves. Phyllis Calvert deserves the grudging 3 I am giving this outdated nonsense. Megs Jenkins and the fine David Kossoff are given minor parts, but thanks to their presence and Calvert the film comes to what is called life. Bergman who is an actress in the film fails utterly. For those who want to see her truly act see ' Journey to Italy ' and Ingmar Bergman;s ' Autumn Sonata '.
