This movie took me by surprise! I love Audrey Hepburn and decided to dig into some of her work I hadn't seen yet and this one is a true tragedy. I finished "Wait Until Dark" and thought this might be in the same vein but it most certainly is not. It's a weighty film emotionally and seems ahead of its time in some ways. After watching "Portrait of a Woman on Fire" earlier this year I can see parallels in the exploration of love and desire between the two. The pace does drag at points but considering this was made in 1961, and considering the subject matter, the execution is quite good. Overall it is a movie I would enjoy rewatching but I'll need some time to emotionally recover. 7/10.
