I can't believe I hadn't seen this until now, but I do have some huge holes in my film-watching experience. This is a wonderful movie! No wonder everybody holds it in such high regard!
trailer:
Slant Magazine gives it 3 1/2 out of 4 stars. DVD Talk calls it "a beloved Hollywood treasure". Roger Ebert says,
It is an almost perfect illustration of how much a really good movie can please. Things happen on the screen that makes you happy. You get involved.It get a 100% score from Rotten Tomatoes. The book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die says, "of the many wonderful films summarized in this book, it truly is a must-see."

The movie portrays men and women's relationships in a way we would never see today. I think this is a big part of the charm of this movie the way Katherine Hepburn's character can dominate Bogart's rough and tough guy. Ithink we long for these simpler times.

ReplyDeleteit's subtle. you know what's going on, but it's not blatant. i love bogart's line to the captain when he asks him to marry them, "it's only that it would mean so much to the lady."
