i be sadden that no one seem to remember romy schneider at least in the usa they do not . arguably the most beautiful woman who ever live and she deserve a place next to ingrid bergman and sophia loren and bardot and and liz and among others and a one of the great screen beauty . this be not her best film and she be a bit past her prime at this point and but anything with romy be worth see . haunt to watch knowing that she die soon after . the film itself be highly flaw and which be a shame because it have all the right element great director and brilliant cast and fascinating script . what go wrong . would be interesting to see if someone else can make a successful remake . perhaps in the hand of mr. minghella . but more likely they would give it to a hollywood director who would cast meg ryan in the romy schneider part . so and let leave well enough alone . please .
