She was an intermezzo in his life. - By: B. Chandler, 09 Apr 2005
This David O. Selznick film is a remake of an earlier film with the same name. Ingrid also played in this one so it is easy to get them mixed-up at first.

The story is a classic & has been told in many ways. A famous violinist (Leslie Howard) fallls in love with his daughter's piano teacher (Ingrid Bergman). Unlike many movies where the couple cause each other trouble & force the other one to beg his/her way back into good graces, the situations are real enough that you feel that you are part of the story. You will have to watch to find out how they deal with feelings & act on them.

You can easily get wrapped up in the story & forget that there is quit a bit of beautiful music in this film.

If you find this movie as intriguing as I do, your next story should be "Brief Encounter" - Criterion Collection (1945). See my review "When you feel like British, no other film will do as well." May 6, 2001
