This movie is a Elizabeth Taylor's classic; directed by Richard Brooks and written by Epstein.
The hero's character is played by Van Johnson. He acted really well but haven't succeeded in surpassing Taylor.
Taylor is simply superb; She is one of the most versatile actresses in the world cinema.
Her grace, her beauty, her flow of emotions on screen, her love and her everything on screen is great.
This movie depicts the problems arising between a husband and wife and how their life journey continues.
Charles comes back to Paris after the 2nd world war; He meets Helen, he infacts likes Helen's sister, Marion first but eventually falls for Helen when he sees her.
Charles and Helen gets married; Helen enjoys her life with friends and parties and never really succeeds in helping Charles or comforting him with his failures.
Charles joins a news company; He tries to write novels, all his novels are returned back with a note saying that they aren't worthy of publishing.
Disappointment and frustration grows in charles and Helen's indifference adds to his troubles.
He finds solace in their child. Differences grow between them slowly.
Meanwhile one day Helen's family finds that the land gifted by her father to Charles has Oil mines which makes them rich overnight.
Differences grow further and helen starts going out with a handsome tennis player whom her father introduces. Charles goes out with an actress whom he interviews for his news agency.
They both try to escape from each other and one day when Helen goes to their house to meet Charles, he refuses to open the door which forces helen to walk alone in the cold climate to her sister's house and falls sick.
Charles meets Helen the next day and they both express love and affection towards each other and helen finally dies in the hospital.
In the final act, Marion raises Helen's daughter, proving the court that Charles is an aloholic and unfit to raise his child.
Charles comes back to reclaim his child and finally wins over Marion after Marion's husband convinces her.
There have been hundreds of movies made later in Hindi and other regional languages in India based on this story but none matches Taylor's performance and Van Johnson's performance as well.
Taylor is a beauty queen and her grace is unmatched; Its highly unlikely that there's another woman who is so beautiful with loads of acting talent. The movie never has a boring scene and I infact cried for the last 30 mins of the movie. its so beautifully portrayed the love between a father and his child; Husband's remorse at losing his wife; Husband's calming attitude towards a very lively wife and a studious child.
this is a must watch for all those who will be tying the knot or who will be stepping into a relationship soon.
I think this is what happens when people fall in love at first sight; The eventual pull between opposite sexes as per the law of attraction rules and brings them to marriage.
After marriage, the troubles start as the couple fails to understand each other before marriage because of the law of attraction.
Its so difficult to maintain a marriage or a relationship. You have troubles, problems, misunderstandings coming in your way every now and then and you just have to move on and never break the relationship.
It all looks so easy but to be in a relationship and to sustain it is a challenge and its been becoming very difficult in the society due to the growing human's individualities and various lifestyles.
