Lack of good storyline.

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Famous conductor (Oskar Werner) meets young journalist (Barbara Ferris). Though he's married, they begin an love affair and everything is fine until she starts feeling guilty.This absolutely lovely movie is a remake of "Intermezzo," and I think it's much better. Oskar Werner was never sexier and Barbara Ferris is sweet as the young lady. The pace is good, the writing excellent, and the soundtrack of classical themes reinforces the passion between the two characters.This is a sensitive and believable look at an affair. The acting is excellent and it's sure to leave you swooning.

I loved this movie. I saw it once on TV in 1972, and never forgot it. It is a very moving love story, with the exceptional acting of Oskar Werner. It is my favorite movie of his, and he is my favorite actor. He was totally believable as an attractive orchestra conductor, married, in love with a young English girl. The story, the acting, the photography, and the music are wonderful. This movie has not been released officially on video or DVD. I would love to own a DVD of it. I recommend this movie highly. Oskar Werner seems to be playing himself! We are used to seeing Oskar Werner in character parts in American movies. I would love to collect his German movies, but cannot find them. I am a student of German and particularly enjoy hearing Oskar reading German poetry on records, now available on CD's. I am enjoying in particular hearing an interview he gave just before his death (heart attack) in 1984. Oskar Werner was mainly known as a stage actor, and each of his movies is a gem. I have read that his efforts to have his own theater in Salzburg did not work out due to his problems. He was both melancholy and exuberant. As a student of German, and a lover of Vienna, Oskar's home town, I am enthralled with all of his work. This simple movie "Interlude" is my absolute favorite of all of his movies, and highly recommend it. It will show a sexy side to this man which we never see in his other movies, in a very moving love scene. Cheers to Oskar Werner! I miss you, Oskar!

I watched the movie Interlude several years ago and have often wondered why it has never become available on video or DVD. It is one of the better versions of the movie which is also called Intermezzo with Ingrid Bergman and later version with June Allyson. This version with Oskar Werner is very good and hopefully sometime it will be available. I have an LP of the original soundtrack and have played it so much it is nearly bald. Timi Yuro does a great job of singing the title tune and there are several other versions of the title song done instrumentally. Also, some nice pieces of classical music from the movie are included. I have enjoyed many of Oskar Werner's movies, and this one is so romantic, it is a shame more people cannot enjoy this very good film.

"Interlude" completely caught me off guard! Finding this film was a mistake, albeit a very happy mistake. I obtained a copy of this very rare film by sheer accident. I actually had requested a copy of the 1957 Hollywood version directed by melodrama maestro Douglas Sirk. But when this British version arrived I decided to give it a try and I was immediately sucked in by the sheer scope of its romance and truly phenomenal lead stars.This 1960s version stars Barbara Ferris and Oskar Werner as tortured lovers who must cope with the looming presence of Werner's wife and two young children. Ferris, as the sweet and innocent newspaper reporter, and Werner, as a temperamental and famed conductor, exude an overwrought chemistry and truly make you want to see them together in light of his oblivious family.Set to a moving theme that rivals that of the famous song from "Love Story", "Interlude" is a rare gem just waiting to be rediscovered. The direction is sensitive and romantic, yet provides moments of unabashed melodrama and scope. One of the movie's most climactic moments is choreographed to a classic piece that Werner is conducting. The ending honestly left me with a lump in my throat, just waiting for more. This is what a romantic drama is supposed to be about.
