Really Surprised!
Absolutely the worst movie.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Everything the two previous viewers have said about this film is on the mark. The direction, the performances, the photography and editing, the subtle score, and the play / screenplay by Peter Shaffer--all are superb. I would add only one point: Shaffer has done a clever variation / reversal on the Orpheus-Eurydice myth, with Jayston as Orpheus, Farrow as Eurydice, and funniest of all, Topol as Pluto, private eye, public eye, king of London, king of the underworld, and, and, and.... That the detective's raincoat is "white" is indicative of Shaffer's sense of humor. I suspect that this is one of those films that will reveal something new to the viewer each time s(he) views it. It is now being shown on the Sundance TV Channel, where I came upon it by accident.
I am looking to "borrow" a copy of this film...been looking for years now! Anyone with information please message me, I'd very much appreciate it.I have not seen this little gem in many years, but it had a haunting quality, with many good life lessons, on appreciating the good things in your life, and not taking love for granted. An old theme but played differently here. A romantic movie for sure. Good one for couples, young and old to see...problem is, finding it, unless you are lucky enough to see it on late night TV.A rare film to find, despite the level of the cast and crew, and a brilliant sound track.
This is one of the all-time masterpieces directed by Carol Reed. Mia Farrow is fascinating, Topol is funny and tender-hearted, and John Barry's music is simply superb. Peter Shaffer's script is charming with a good twist and warmth, which I actually prefer to his other (more popular but colder) works.I'm very surprised to find out that it's never been released as Video or DVD. Is there any copyright issue here? Anyway, we should complain to Universal and urge them to resolve the problem and release DVD as soon as possible. Many people are waiting in a long line to watch it again!
I remember seeing this movie in Bombay, India almost 25 years ago and could never forget this sensitive movie, If anyone has any info about getting this movie please let me know Thanks.D
