This is set in 1914, at the beginning of World War I and during colonialism, and yet, there's a timeless, even occasionally Edenic quality to this unlikely romance. (Well, not as unlikely as that movie poster.) Just as Charlie and Rosie have to go through a lot to fall for each other, this is not a love-at-first-sight movie, and this is maybe my fifth time watching it. It is a "classic," but not a great movie in my opinion. Not that there's anything wrong with it; it just doesn't that extra something. Still, on a blog where it's a small achievement for a movie to get a C, this B is a rare gem.
Bikel plays the First Officer, while Morley is Hepburn's brother. John Huston directed and co-wrote the screenplay, based on the C.S. Forester novel.
