Your Reviews
I really loved this movie. It was beautifully filmed -perfect locations-good acting -if I didn't know better, I would swear it was filmed in the 1940's. Remin... ded me a little of Gone with the Wind - but not so epic. Bryce seemed to be channeling Vivian Leigh/Scarlett O'Hara which wasn't annoying but actually worked here. I wish Chris Evans had been given a stronger role because I didn't feel that Jimmy really cared much for Fisher but maybe that was intentional? Did he love her or was he going to just attach himself to her because of what he and his family could gain by their union? I kept thinking maybe she would have been happier if she quit pining away for a guy who was never going to feel any passion for her and go ahead and follow through with her plans to head to Europe. I wished Tennessee Williams was around to tell us how it all turned out. I do know he would have been pleased with this movie. Definitely watch it - preferably more than once. Full Review
