StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Nonureva Really Surprised!

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Bob 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.

sally This was one of my favorite movies. This is Maggie Smiths Best movie. I cannot understand why it is never on TV or allowed to be made into a DVD. I have written to Lifetime,TCM and others trying to get some network to play the movie. Does anyone out there know why this movie is never shown? I can't think of another movie that matches it in humor and tenderness. This is a PG movie but last time I asked for it in a video store they thought I was looking for an X rated movie and gave me a sheet of Xers. I first went to this movie because someone told me it was a great small movie and if I didn't see it now I would never get the chance. (he was right) I took his advice and had to drive around a flood area (there had just been a tornado) to get to see the movie before it left the area. I am so happy I got that chance but it would be great if others get to experience this film. This movie was wonderful!! And I will repeat Maggie Smith's BEST movie.

anastasioj In the 70s I saw this film a number of times. Every time it was be re-released in a theater, I'd take another friend of mine to view this real treat. Maggie Smith was wonderful as the repressed endearing woman embarking on the adventure of her life. I have been looking for years in video stores and on the internet to find it. I thought once Alan Pakula had died there would be a resurgence for all his movies. But, it has been nowhere to be found. I highly recommend it, and welcome hearing form anyone who knows where I May obtain a copy. There must be a problem with distribution rights. I remember many scenes - the one with the bird at the hotel and the one where Maggie Smith attempting to walk dignified has the camera panning at her shoe, where she is dragging some toilet paper. Does anyone know if it is ever shown on AMC or TMC?

nancyjomo This is a delightful film of coming of age, and coming to life. The one, a young man, suffocated by his blue-blood family, finds himself in the eyes of an older woman. And she, a not-quite-middle-aged spinster suffocated by her roles in life, is yearning for something to live for as she faces a final illness. He falls in love with her unaffected realism; and she with his boyish enthusiasm and unashamed wonder at the world. Together they struggle with what they see as a lack of tolerable options for such an odd couple; while learning more and more to depend on each other for much more than friendship. Together they discover Europe, and life, and each other, and themselves ... and bring us all a little more to life when they do.

john davidson This is a great low key film. Maggie Smith is wonderful in this off beat drama/comedy. She did this I believe after " The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie " but her performance is clearly up to that standard. It really is a very sweet love story with the ups and downs of a relationship between Maggie and Timothy Bottoms. His performance is also very good and kept very low key much like the film in general. I don't know why it is not available on DVD or VHS? I happen to have recorded it off of a Canadian Broadcast years ago. I have also tried searching a number of rental house to no avail. If Mr. Pakula reads this please find away to make this little gem of a film available to everyone. Thank You.
