I admit, I ordered the DVD of this film because it starred the young Barbara Hershey. Okay, sure, she is stunningly beautiful; but as we know, she is also a stunning actress. I'd never seen this film before last night......unless I've forgotten viewing it in the theater upon its release.
Overall, what a lovely film. I'm an old softy, so a story like this would tend to get me; but as other reviewers have said, the stars made this story.
In my opinion, it would be a mistake to fault the film because of a few things that, now, seem rather dated. The characters are subdued with their emotions (for the most part); and that they can pull it off is a sign of the actor's talents.
But really, what else can I say other than: what a lovely tale, lovingly told.
