Few movies can touch as many peoples hearts as this one has. There's just no question about it. The belief that love comes through everything, even time, is a premise all of us hope for.
Best line in the movie is when the elderly Elyse says to Richard, "Come back to me". Will tear your heart right out of your chest. The beautiful Rachmaninov music enhances the feeling of love these two people have for each other, and prolongs the pain once they've been ripped apart by fate. Must've been some pretty powerful stuff between these two for Elyse to sleep with this guy she's only known for a couple of days, given the sexually chaste nature of the average woman at that time (1920's).
I agree with the viewer who took issue with Richard becoming so ill after he returns to the Inn though. Seems to me a strapping young guy in such robust health could live longer than one week without food and water.
Couldn't improve on this one in very many ways. One question though... How can I get my hands on the dress Elyse wore during her play at the Inn?!!
