November 22, 2009In 1961 I was barely a twinkle in my father's eye but I'm reasonably sure that there weren't many films or film makers around that were courageous enough to tackle a subject like lesbianism head-on.

September 15, 2009What is so impressive on page or stage can come across very different in movie form. Here, Shirley MacLaine and Audrey Hepburn turn in performances that would be much more impressive in a theater than they are on screen. With the cameras inches away from their faces, it's hard to...( read more)

June 26, 2007This movie is very different from any thing Audrey has done before. If you want to see a movie that will depress you, then watch this movie. Shirley MacLaine was so good in this, I never knew who she was until I saw this movie! She did so well!
