The Moon and Sixpence 1942 DVD - George Sanders / Herbert Marshall

Loosely inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin, this film tells the story of Charles Strickland, a middle-aged stockbroker who abandons his comfortable middle-class life, his family, and his duties to pursue his true passion: painting. Strickland's obsession with art transforms him into a difficult and uncompromising man, wholly devoted to his own ideal of beauty.
