Robert Taylor's favorite movie is also rumored to be one of Vivien's favorites--although at the time she was sorry that Laurence Olivier had not been cast in it.(She was always seeking him as her screen partner!) But Taylor delivers the goods--great charm,presence and obviously respecting the fine role that he plays.Vivien Leigh is a revelation--here she is fresh from Scarlett O'Hara and able to inhabit another character's skin with ease,back in her oh-so-British mode and looking as young and beautiful as ever.It's a pleasure that two such charismatic stars are still being seen in this--their finest moments on screen in one of the greatest tear-jerkers of the '40s.Special mention should be given to Lucille Watson for the way she plays the restaurant scene with Leigh at their first meeting--the mother-in-law getting the wrong impression from Leigh's reception.All of it is romantic,tender and charming--with an Anna Karenina-like ending after a surprising twist.For fans of Taylor and Leigh,it doesn't get any getter than this.
