Natalie Wood has never looked better, her and Steve have to be one of the best pairings ever.
I love the bit at dinner where she keeps saying 'you know'.
You know?
'Give in to lust, heaven knows we'll soon be dust'
Their chemistry was out the roof..I love this movie.
shareExcept for the last 20 minutes or so, it's really a terrific movie. Too bad that it dragged on for about 20 minutes too long........

Jim Hutton (1934-79) & Ellery Queen =
great acting!
shareA simple film but very well acted and directed. I might buy this one. 9/10
shareSaw it tonight on a whim and was blown away. What a beautiful little movie. I loved the slow burn romance and the performances.
shareNever mentioned much but one of the greatest. Next to Splendor in the Grass, one of Natalie’s best. This was way ahead of its time. The chemistry of McQueen and Wood is incomparable. B/W movie in the 60s in NYC and the movie poster for this is fantastic (not the pic here for sure - it’s way more sensuous). Just a really good love story. There have been many discussions of McQueen on this website but it is always about The Magnificent Seven, Bullitt, Towering Inferno - but nothing of this gem.
