Review of The Lady with the Dog

THE LADY … is an exquisite and flawless piece of superior art; ah, you admirer of cinema, if you fall in love with such movies do not expect, pray you, to find many others alike. It's a movie of flawless taste—not even one single false note! On the contrary, the most delicious and nuanced and fluent harmony …. Oh, such movies disgust you of anything else—now, think only if it's wise and truly advisable ….

It's also the simplest of movies, about love and life; a white flame. Only the simplest and very best things—nothing peculiar, strident or whimsical.

This is the lightest art; the difficulty of its achievement is proved by the rarity of such masterpieces. Heifitz did not win a truly outstanding celebrity; yet, he should have had.
