This movie is very special to me. I saw it with my first girlfriend. I thought, "Wow, they made a movie about me." This is a truly amazing movie. Sure there are contrivances but really the romantic angle works.
This movie has everything, philosopy, romance, adventure, love, discovery of self love and France. Who could ask for more. It has a wonderful cast. Diane Lane is absolutely wonderful. Sir Laurence Olivier is just fabulous. The rest of cast is a wonderful collection of oddballs and nuts that are done superbly.
There is no overt sex, no violence but the movie manages to do very well without those things. It makes you wonder why they can't make more movies like this anymore. It is a complete movie. Thankfully they did not make a sequel to this one. It stands on its own. The test of a good movie is that after it ends you care and wonder about the characters. This movie really makes you wonder what happened after the movie ends.
Did she write back? Did he find another love? Will they find true love? Very few movies I have seen ever made me wonder what happened after the end.

The movie is rather softly done. It has no bold sweeping strokes. I guess the concept of a person falling in love with God is something that people have problems understanding.Other than that the movie moves well and it has the required plot lines.I really liked it and it is truly a well done movie.
The book is rather better in the sense that it handles the concept of a vocation and the belief in Christ in a very straightforward manner. This is a rarity in books and especially in cinema. The performance of Diana Rigg is very workmanlike. She is quite adept at the part. I really liked the scenery and the liturgical aspects of the movie. The set decoration was very good.
