I love tragic romances, and this is one of the best. A tearjerker about a WWI soldier (played by the BEAUTIFUL Robert Taylor), and the woman he loves (played by the almost as beautiful Vivien Leigh), who meet during an air raid in London, but then are separated by the same war th...( read more)

A classic romance starring Robert Taylor and Vivien Leigh.

This is a beautiful, touching love story. Vivien Leigh was as lovely as ever and her acting is superb. Her eyes act as windows into her soul. Robert Taylor also gives a more-than-adequate performance. He really fits well into the role. Call me sentimental, but I thought this trag...( read more)

This remake of the 1931 version stars Vivien Lee as the ballerina turned street walker when her soldier-fiancee is presumably killed in the war...expect the unexpected naturally and have a box of kleenex close by. Miss Lee looks ever so lovely in this old classic.

Tragic and beautiful when you watch it young, but when you get older and look back at all these fundamentalist virgin-type stories you start to look at the social mechnism behind it and maybe question: if this lady is so concerned with her purity why couldn't she find a better jo...( read more)

Un avejentado capitán mira nostálgico una figurilla en su mano, desde el puente de Waterloo, en Londres. De ahí, irá hacia los recuerdos de una relación que lo dejó marcado para siempre. Todo es perfecto en esta escena, de las primeras que abren Waterloo Bridge (1940), un dramón ...( read more)

I don't understand Myra! If only she had read the column carefully. And why didn't she tell her future mother in law? And why did the mother in law give up on her so easily? Why didn't she tell the truth and beg for forgiveness? If he loved her, her past wouldn't have mattered to...( read more)

February 13, 2007I've been thinking and this film is like Moulin Rouge (well it's set out like it, and slightly similar story lines)...
It begins at the end; however it isn't as narative so you don't quite know the ending.
It tells the story (v. gd BUT sad! Y must she kill herself???)...
...and then it ends where it began...
Eitherway I love this film...
