I never even heard of this movie until yesterday. Curious, that. I enjoyed it, but didn't love it, primarily because I could not picture an elegant, mature Ingrid Bergman falling for a mentally unstable, childish Anthony Perkins. Fifteen years is not such a great age difference (although it must have been unthinkable in 1961), but here the difference was immense.
Perhaps I just can't find Tony Perkins alluring. If the role had been played by Paul Newman, well, perhaps . . . .
It was great fun to watch, however, for the location shots of 1960's Paris, Ingrid Bergman's fabulous Christian Dior wardrobe and the clever variations on the Brahms theme in the soundtrack.
