Don't want to repeat other comments I have made on this forum, but will add that this is one film that bears repeated viewings, and grows in grandeur and subtlety with each one. It is a simple morality tale, in a sense -- a conflict between good and evil, between love and duty -- which reveals that frailty and virtue are indistinguishable within the human heart, and which thereby attains mythic stature.

There's the famous soundtrack, the famous sewer sequence, the fabulous cast and the splendid cinematography and ... and then, there is that final scene, that parting shot of all parting shots, with the wind blowing and the leaves scuttling across an autumnal landscape, and the a lady walking down a road which recedes into a vanishing point, leaving behind every yearning man's heart that ever beat. Exquisite!

Give me a minute, and I'll think of two or three other peerless shots in this film.

Some may find this mid-twentieth century gem's ethos somewhat unfamiliar to the palette, to be expected with one's first taste of caviar. But, if you just give it a chance to work on you, it'll go down like honey barbecue flavor fritos!
