Title: A powerful story of love, duty and idealism.
Review: This movie is vastly underappreciated. It is a timeless and powerful story of love and cultural differences. Owen grapples with his duty which is in conflict with his compassion. Alva's idealistic view of the world clashes with its realities. Her dreams are impractical yet they are exactly what Owen lacks and what draws them together. The rest of the cast delivers great supporting performances, especially Badham, Bronson and Blake. This is one of my favorite movies. It always transports me and I leave it grudgingly, wishing I too could be caught up in Alva's world. Although it has an all star cast, the star is the story, which is as it should be.
