Most excellent story-telling entertainment guaranteed to deliver to the viewer a satisfaction while viewing and closure at the end gripping you all the way. While the story is excellent the star of the flick captures the part and delivers the goods on a platter. The result? Reviews like this and a bonus too. There is a statement made by a blind pianist during dinner time in the movie that was quite profound. I took note of it at the time, appreciated it and only to have it catch me off-guard at a later time and as result, pulled some well-earned tears right out of me. I leave it to you to have your own experience and will tell you no more. Nicely done to all involved. Enjoy the backgrounds of life during this time, its polite society and the social, drinking, courting and dueling of the times presented. Supporting cast was excellent and the director made certain we got all the necessary messages without asking for them. I am a fan of the classics because they have the qualities that live on in the movie world. I especially enjoy the dialogues and scenery as well as customs captured for the movie themes. Today, its all sex, killing and loud noises as if that is all there is. The classics remind us there is much more art involved and clearly no accidents either. I enjoyed a nice roast chicken which I picked on and some delicious dessert as I love eating while watching a show. This is a good movie for a favorite snacking too. Enjoy this little "affair"
