I have seen this movie at least 20 times. It is an adult fairy tale, set back directly after the second world war (with flashbacks to the war itself from which Paul, a chocolate candy salesman had just returned.) He is an orphan, and he meets a woman who in 1945 has gone off to college, and has returned in disgrace, pregnant, by a professor. Paul (Reeves) agrees to pretend to be her husband for a few days, and then he will abandon her, leaving her and her child alone. The most romantic part of the film occurs when the temperature becomes very cold right before the harvest, and the grapes could be affected by frost. Everyone dons "wings" and fans the warm air from barrel fires around the grapevines to keep the grapes from being killed by the frost. It is one of the most beautiful scenes ever filmed, and one of the most imaginative one. They say you never see anything new in films now a days, well this one is new, and it has a happy ending.
