Terrific movie that we never see on TV - and we should., 22 August 1999
Author: Michael Breitner (michael.m.breitner@amexpub.com) from USA

Great story, great location, beautiful photography. Too bad we don't see this one on any of the movie channels. I think this is Fred Astaire's last movie - and he was terrific. And Charlotte Rampling has some of her best moments on film.
