I figure there's something wrong about a movie when your heart tugs most for the fate of a cat. While this film was beautifully cast and shot, with superb cinematography and great 60's era music and art direction, I was left thirsting for some real emotional connection to the main characters. I found the script, the story, to be wanting. Perhaps some great bits were left on the cutting room floor (an Akron Ohio reunion ? the royalties from the Kennedy song ? the future of Jean's relationship ?) Too many threads from the story were left unexplored and unresolved, imho. Hardly best picture material, despite the lovely audio-visual experience it provided.
