*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
I have to admit that as much as I dislike Vanessa Redgrave for her political views, she gave a wonderful performance in this film.
The story of a painter, whose paintings are worth a fortune and are desired by two greedy children, is an absolute artistic treasure.
Flashbacks are beautifully realized to show the unhappy life of the Redgrave character during World War 11. It depicts a war-bride marriage and a tragic love affair.
When the boyfriend of Redgrave's youngest daughter's b is killed in a boating accident, his daughter goes to live with Redgrave and the two develop an important bond.
The ending will forever tug at your heart and you will know that Redgrave did right in her will.
Max Schell appears briefly as young Redgrave's artist. He is great here and shows a completely American accent.
