One of the best romance movies I've ever seen, 1 November 2005
10/10

I've seen this movie 5-6 times on the late night movies. I think its one of the very best I've ever seen. I hope to find a copy to purchase. Older movies don't compare to late movies, and I don't expect them to, but I like the older ones best. Cooper was mid career here, the other actors and actresses were well known and for some of them, this was not the character parts their fans typically expected them to play. As a result, the critics of the time, and today, don't give it the best of ratings. I gave it top ratings for content and depiction of the relationships and involvements and heartbreaks between a man torn between two women, business, and what is right.
