Some of Ed's favourite moments
- This movie set new standards for Greer's look. She is quite stunning here. She looks more glamourous than in "Chips," more mature than in "Remember?", more modern than in "P&P," and more sophisticated than in "Blossoms."
-
Her very first scene: After we've been watching the dour love affair between Joan Crawford and Herbert Marshall for half an hour, Greer bursts into the movie like a bolt of lightning, breathtaking and vibrant.
"I was sailing today. Made a new man of me." - As in "Remember?" a couple of years earlier, Greer and Robert Taylor are wonderful together. Watch how Taylor coaxes her out of the car and into Bridgie's house.
- Greer speaks French.
-
The centrepiece of the movie is Greer's big girl-talk
scene with Joan Crawford, with some stunning close-ups
of Greer.
Greer 1, Joan 0. - I think Greer is playing the piano herself again.
- I've never been a Joan Crawford fan, having grown up in the 1960s and seeing her on talk shows as a late-middle-aged woman. But I have to grudgingly admit that I enjoyed watching her here. I even found her a bit fetching at times.
- It's such a shame that Greer made no more movies with Robert Taylor.
