Wonderfully sad
17 August 2006
I first saw this movie in 1958 by accident. We had gone to an "arts" theater to see another film and were not aware of its being a double feature. AMTG was shown first. Immediately at the close of the film the theater lights went up and nobody was getting up or doing much of anything: mostly looking at their shoelaces or whatever would keep them (us) from making eye contact. I actually heard some sobs. To this day when I attempt to tell someone about "the saddest movie ever made" I choke up at the end. That was the only time I've ever seen the movie and I so much want to share it with someone before I die. It was a beautiful, wondrously poignant experience and I will carry it in my heart forever. Surely they will release it on DVD someday.
