8:00 PM.

 

A bittersweet romance, seldom shown these days, with excellent performances by Robert Taylor and Vivian Leigh.

The ability of B&W to set mood, the capability of the director and the cinematographers is well-displayed in this mostly-forgotten flick.

 

The Farewell (Auld Lang Syne) Waltz scene at the Candlelight Club, is a marvelous piece of work...

 

Sorry - we talk about contemporary flicks here, and I know that speaking about old flicks can get out of hand left unchecked...but if you are a fan of the subtleties, the tones that the B&W medium can impart, watch or record this one.

 

I read somewhere, that Robert Taylor thought that it was the best movie he had ever done.
