What a treat to see this wonderfully sweet movie after all these years! I was 12 when it first came out. I'm 45 now, and saw the movie, just a few minutes ago, with new eyes.
Martin is AMAZING in this. Brilliant! And, drop dead gorgeous! Any school girl, or a 45 year old's dream come true! Romantic as hell, in a tasteful manner.
Linda looks lovely, and gives a wonderful performance. What a refreshing role from "other" role she did before this one.
One complaint: The ending was too short and abrupt. Good ending, but they should of added at least another five minutes to it.
Second complaint: We really aren't properly introduced to Leonard. Why was he in a mental hospital? Why did his marriage end, or had it? What was he planning on doing in a cabin in the mountains of New Mexico? Live out his days in peace, or end it?
Looking back, the movie, or "Kubla Khan" couldn't of ended any other way. And, as already wisely noted, Leonard really couldn't live in this world. But, he changed someone's life along the way.
Truly one of the 1970's very best!
