What a wonderful movie this is! The stage settings, the costumes, the actors and most of all some blessedly intelligent dialogue. What a difference between now and then. Before this generation, words had a weightyness to them. They meant something. People thought…they weren’t afraid of silence. Compare that with today’s mindless blatherings 24 hours a day. Constantly moving screens and cameras - juvenile plots and gratuitous violence. No wonder this movie wasn’t a box office smash. It’s just too smart. Or maybe I’m just getting old.
