Skeet played Ray beautifully. They were both good in this. Wow. My favorite scene was Ray’s joy that the baby was coming when he scooped her up and carried her into the house. Such joy.
Keri was radiant in this movie. Women knew how to dress back then, feminine, classy, and beautiful. Same with men, we were gentlemen, sport coats and fedoras, and manners, imagine that.... No ball caps and hoodies, jeez, what happened.
I know,right! My grandmother would never have dreamt of popping to the corner store unkempt (she would never have imagined people schlep out in pyjamas with messy hair). Her shoes were polished, ditto handbag, perfectly clean and ironed frock, hair done up, dash of lipstick and powder. Spritz of Yardley’s lavender scent. Immaculate from the skin out, and with impeccable manners. Of course, she also endured the depression and two world wars and could make a cheap meal that tasted incredible with very little in the pantry. Impressive generation.
Eliza is Williams's match intelligently. Great to watch this couple. That was some kiss on 1/28. Can't believe he left for a year. She should not have let him go. ❤ them.
This was such a brilliant interpretation of the novel. Loved it, the setting the performances and some subtle moments most directors or writers miss from the novel.
