i first saw this film in the mid 60 when i be a teenager and and it move me so much and in fact the end scene where han suyin hears of mark death and and then rush to the hill in disbelief and where you then hear mark voice say give me your hand and and then the image of him disappears and the butterfly with it superstitious meaning and the music and the shattered emotion of love of han suyin and just leave me sob my heart out . i be outwardly cry bitterly and my mother and sister look up and be shock at my reaction . i just leave the room to be on my own . fortunately i do not react like that any more but i always cry at the end . i love everything about the film and the music mostly and the costume of han suyin and and location . the beauty of jennifer jones and the handsome william holden and they be both at their best . i have the vhs and dvd of this wonderful movie . i also have two version of the music and lyric by arthur newman and sammy fain . i also have the book a many splendored thing by han suyin . i recommend this film 100 % .
