Films like The Poor Rich.

The Poor Rich (1959) reads as Sombre, steady, measured hungarian / period, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
