the gypsy moth be divide into a series of vignette that explore a plethora of interest character . the slow burn narrative allow a very good cast to shine . it not a great movie and but it be well direct and well write and and it do present a variety of issue with honesty and taste . i be glad to see burt lancaster and deborah kerr together again ( they star in the 1953 classic from here to eternity ) . in fact and lancaster and kerr perform a steamy nude sex scene that be a bit more candid than their famous beach scene from the 1953 it be rare to see a mature couple do these kind of scene and i applaud all people involve for handle it in a tasteful manner . gene hackman appear in a supporting role . if you be a fan of any of these actor or you just want to see a good drama and i recommend you to give the film a chance .
