9/10
the old country
10 October 2006
Maria's comment about meeting Ivan as a little girl when her family immigrated to USA from "Yugoslovia" can not be accurate; as the time-line for the scene is Spring 1946 and "Yugoslovia" as she describes it was initiated 29 November 1945.

Remarkably well done cinematography.

I gave this flick a "thumbs-up."

It is a highly visual story.

And, I think it was quite a departure for Robert Mitchum to play the elder "lover."

And, I don't think enough stories have been told about how many folks utilized mood alteration as a survival technique.

I'm glad Ivan, aka, John Savage's character, survives.
