Fun story, good characters, beautiful ROCKPORT MA. on Cape Ann & a steam engine!
11 March 2019
This movie was one of the many feel good movies that didn't make fun of anyone, use sex to sell, or have car wrecks, building blowing up--just good people trying to keep a business working! The fun was the very good Doris Day character and of course Jack Lemon and Ernie Kovacs was- - "Ernie Kovacs"!!! LOL! This was one of the last of the family movies that you didn't have to keep your kids away whilst watching! It had shots of Rockport Ma. (north shore not "The Cape") on Cape Ann and it's a beautiful place!

This movie hits all the right notes--no flats!

How wonderful to see real actors (professional) doing their "thing" AND all that glorious music--AHHHH! I often wondered with short careers (like professional sports players BUT MUCH LOWER PAID)---how the soloists live and where when they get on in years.

To see these people living and still filling their lives with music and "living in the music" was just wonderful.

Finally a movie with NO car chases, no huge explosions, no killing, murder or mayhem! BRAVO!!!

It proves the fact of America getting cruder and not teaching music in schools anymore with the fact that this movie made so little money--so sad.

You knew the ending BUT the journey was beautiful!

Warning: Spoilers
This movie was so refreshing and relaxing--no "messages" no lectures, not so much thinking as "feeling"! The scenery was beautiful and the acting was great (except for no Chemistry between Charlie/Julie) BUT Redgrave was incredible!

The one big thing we couldn't get over was that in some shots they drove on the left and some shots they drove on the right! SO were some shots from England? What's the story there with the driving scenes?

The over-all feel-good movie as fun and I wish we'd see more of this and less of the blow-them-up so called adventure and shoot them down, kill everyone you can movies that are so popular!

LOVE TRUMPS ALL!
