Rating: - A Must See
If ever there is a movie you should see add this one to your list. I own it. Too bad it isn't put on DVD. I would hate to lose it because of the tape disintegrating.

One of my favorite "message" movies. Roslind Russell and Alec Guiness are delightful as widow and widower who set aside the past to discover each other. Wonder if they will do a remake set in Iraq?

I love this movie! It is a tender and funny movie. Rosalind Russell (Mrs. Jacoby) shares her jewish traditions with a Japanese gentleman while in Japan. It is about how racism can be overcome by gentle understanding. How graceful times were. Truly a gem!
