Customer Reviews

She was an intermezzo in his life.

This David O. Selznick film is a remake of an earlier film of the same name. Ingrid also played in this one, so it is easy to get them mixed up at first. The story is a classic and has been told in many ways. A famous violinist (Leslie Howard) falls in love with his daughter's piano teacher (Ingrid Bergman). Unlike many movies where the couple causes each other trouble and forces the other one to beg his/her way back into good graces, the situations are real enough that you feel that you are part of the story. You will have to watch to find out how they deal with feelings and act on them. You can easily get wrapped up in the story and forget that there is quite a bit of beautiful music in this film. If you find this movie as intriguing as I do, your next story should be “Brief Encounter” - Criterion Collection (1945). See my review “When you feel like British, no other film will do as well.”
