I think my rating is more for the music and the man rather than the film, but in this situation I don't care
Splendour and pageantry is correct. What a film. Although long, the length really helps the film to sink into you so it can move you at the end. A beautiful film and a very tragic one.
I caught myself thinking about the word 'yet' the other day and thought of this picture. I always enjoy it on television yet I don't own it for some reason. Being a music junky and a compulsive mix taper I may enjoy it more than some I think
The first time I saw this it was quite late at night or early in the morning depending on how you look at it. I fell asleep at the end and my mind just absorbed the film. I awoke and couldn't remember if I dreamed some of the scenes or if they were in the film. Quite and interesting sensation.
Intoxicatingly great. Like a wonderful dream
HOMEROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!! is so great. You can youtube some of them to get the feel of it. The film gets knocked down from four stars to three on account of length, but nonetheless very enjoyable.
The only part of this film I truly enjoy is the Iggy Pop Tom Waits segment.
Beautiful picture, beautiful music but I didn't care for the actual film. I liked it at the beginning but I think perhaps it went on too long? Maybe if the stories were a little shorter it would hold my attention better, but then there's less beautiful cinematography
Rex Harrison is brilliant in Unfaithfully Yours. I didn't know he could be so funny. The three alternate scenarios and then how everything really turns out is classic. I've heard some pass this off as a "lesser Sturges" before. Don't listen to them.
I watched this for two weeks straight, every night...and would do it again at the drop of a hat.
One my absolute favourites. I watch it maybe every two months along with some Preston Sturges, Bob Hope and the Marx Brothers. No matter what mood I am in, this film will pick me up and help me forget my troubles.
If only I could be as great as Cary Grant in this picture...so cool, so smart, always with a quick wit and something to say, the list goes on. Also some of the best dialogue ever filmed.
Melville has only just recently leapt to the top most reaches of my favourite director list and I very much doubt if he will ever leave.
I'm not even a big basketball fan and I loved this. It's inspiring yet very grounded in reality at the same time. A lot can change in 14 years (and a lot has) but this movie still touches whoever I show it to. A bit long at 171 minutes, but not a minute is wasted in my opinion.
