| User ReviewChris WThis is a dignified and beautifully done movie. It is dated of course, but for me it was incredibly moving. The characters, scenery and acting were superb, and it was a refreshing change from modern movies in that there was no "action" or hysteria. There was a genuine effort to convey a very sad human dilemma. |
