Possibly one of the saddest movies I've ever seen. Poor Marie. Poor Balthazar!

This film is wonderful! I think everything about it is brilliant: the cinematography, the music, the screenplay, the acting. Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard are not glamorous looking people, they're rather ordinary; the story is ordinary, but that's what makes it so good. It's a heartbreaking and beautiful film. Recommended!

favorite movie ever.
