Diana Ossana

Some say arch; some say melodramatic. But it was a time of melodrama, of extremes, of intrigue, of horrors unimaginable. Much was known but so much unknown at this time. For audiences today, so distanced from that time and place, the exposition is educational and enlightening. And even to those in the day it would have been revealing in its lengthy dialogues and moral stance. It was before this a stage play, wherein dialogue and exposition are the norm. It is worth watching in that it demonstrates how humans have not changed through the centuries. Morals and values have cycled, but human behavior, wants, and needs have not. Worth watching for how much has NOT changed, particularly in today's climate, 2024.

I first saw this movie as a little girl on The Late Show. I was a tomboy growing up, with dear, close friends who were almost all boys. I imagined us being the characters in the film together, then as grownups. It was full of intrigue, adventure, humor. I fell in love with all the actors, Gary Cooper, Ray Milland, Robert Preston. Seeing it again as an adult brings bak feelings of nostalgia for my childhood friends and our own adventures. Two of my old friends have passed on, taking some of my childhood with them, but the memories remain. Watch this film. It will stay in your consciousness for many many days afterwards.

Hilarious spoof of Bond; saw it at the Fox Theater in St. Louis.

This film is timeless. Beautiful choreography. Stellar dancing, and acting.

Great acting. And holds your interest, esp if you're a recovering Catholic.

Stallone at his finest. This is a killer movie. So worth watching!

Small-town soap opera with great acting and portrayal of period morals and it's resulting repression.

Just what we all needed during and after COVID.
