I saw this film at least a half dozen times when it was first released (1961. The perfect drive-in movie of it's time. It was serious and high camp. And a real tearjerker from the get go. And Susan Hayward never walked sideways across a screen better than anyone ~ ever. The soundtrack, taken from Brahms 3rd & 4th Symphonies is absolutely thrilling. Highly romantic.. Thank you Susan Hayward and Vera Miles for much drama and tears, director David Miller, author Fanny Hurst, Ross Hunter and Universal Studios. Oh, gowns by Jean Louis. And to that 'toast of the designer world' ~ rae smith ~ (all small letters, very chic) ~ Now ~ "Send the wedding gown to miss rae smith ~ She'll never get to wear it." You were all unbelievable and wonderful.
