What a delight this film is! It's beautifully shot and scored and has several splendid performances. Sloan Wilson's "pot-boiler", on which this was based, was a popular best-seller but no literary masterpiece, and the film is no great "work of art" either. However, as an evocative reminder of a long-lost age of romantic cinema, it could not be bettered. Despite the lyrics of the Rocky Horror Show - it really does demonstrate why Troy Donahue was a movie star! Get your popcorn and relax into two hours of magic.
