I recently watched this film, and it is confirmed: Vivien Leigh is my favorite actress of all time. She was, IMO, one of the greatest actresses of that time period. Her performance as Myra in Waterloo Bridge goes alongside Blanche Dubois and Scarlett O'Hara as one of her greatest. You know an actress/actor is doing a great job when they can get you emotionally involved in their character's plight--you feel for them and want the best for them. Well, that's what Ms. Leigh did to me when I saw this. For the film, it was a very good love story; sad in the way war came between the two lovers and caused her to fall into despair and death, and yet bittersweet in the ending--it's sad, but in a way uplifting. This is one of those four hanky films where the women, and perhaps even the men, get misty-eyed.
