Interludio

This is a gem of a movie! Beautifully scored by Georges Delerue, very well cast, I saw this back in the early 70's ... Since then, I've been looking high and low for it. Oskar Werner gives a memorable performance (in my estimation, his best), and Virginia Maskell is lovely as his dignified, understanding wife. I only wish this would be re-released, as trying to find a copy anymore seems impossible... It is timeless, lush, gorgeous.

This is the movie I took my wife to on our first date 32 years ago and I've been looking for it forever. Just got it through eBay today and I just feel great. Not only that this is a great movie, the theme song by Timi Yuro is a great tune also.

I first saw this movie in 1968 when I was 19 years old. It struck me then (as it still does) as a very poignant story. Interestingly, it somewhat paralleled events in my own life at the time. As a consequence I found myself taking on the movie as my own. I even went and bought the soundtrack which is just beautiful. The mix of excerpts of classical pieces along with Georges Delerue's score transports me every time I hear it. I also have a copy of the movie I made from a television presentation some years ago. Interestingly, it still holds up very well today. The contrasts in both character and personality among the three main players makes for some wonderful emotional moments that highlight this age-old situation.

I saw this movie on late night TV several times in the late 70s, early 80s. Then it disappeared, and I haven't seen it since. I have been watching this site and Ebay for a couple of years hoping to find a copy. I finally found it for sale from Bovine Videos. Google to get exact web site. They have a collection of hard to find films. These are copies, and they are very upfront about the quality. Interlude was described as Fair/Good with a little graininess and quiet sound. I ordered it and delivery took about a week. When it arrived I had to watch it immediately of course. I would rate the quality about that of a movie taped at the slowest speed. But, I still loved seeing it again after 20 years, and am delighted to finally have a copy.

I, too, saw the movie on a first date - have looked for it for years -I must have checked eBay at wrong times - it's odd how my sympathies were with the girlfriend when younger- now I identify with the wife - hope this makes it into video - it's too good to lose-
