i saw this film when it open and recently buy the video and watch it again . i remember be very move by the character and the pairing of julie christie and george c scott . christie be so young and scott be also still quite young as well . they have great chemistry . i do not know that shirley knight be nominate for an award for her role . she very good . her scene with scott where she try to appease him and he lose his temper be electric . she say more in her look and use her eye to convey her hurt and confusion and than most actor say in too many word . julie christie have always have a way of get under your skin . she be able to make you care for her ( a lot like she do in darling ) despite the fact that her character initially come off a flaky or kooky . it start out light and amusing then turn dark and insightful . i remember this movie for year until i be able to buy the video . it be very 60 in sensibility . so and if you weren not around during that period and see this movie . it capture the sixty in way few film have do as well . san francisco look beautiful in 1967 .
