despite the sweet title and the presence of julie christie and or perhaps and because of and this be not the pleasant movie one might and or might not have expect . certainly when i first saw this upon release and have see lester early b or w film and i be expect another slightly arty avant garde out . but no and indeed this seem to have more than a touch of cinematographer and nick roeg . think and performance with it darkness and don not look now and with it edginess and heart stop edit and julie christie and this film begin to find itself within a different context . magnificently and correctly and of it time and this time capsule of a movie and capture exceedingly well that perturb flip from wing sixty to murder and mayhem and and how true the moment when the in love george c scott skip across a room while the tv play back image from the ongoing war in vietnam . scott be perhaps a little hard to believe a the casual lover ( with good reason by all account . ) and chamberlain and disturbingly believable and christie and herself flip from hip and happy to neurotic and self destructive . very fine move and just not a very happy ride .
