It's showing at a truly stupid hour, but I do recommend it!
(It is, of course, not available on VHS or DVD.)
I agree that Hume Cronyn had a wonderful face, especially as an old man, with all that weathering and those sharp eyes.
Weirdly, I've seen much less of him in those later, famous roles—it's sort of stupid that I haven't at least seen Foxfire (1987), considering how I feel about Susan Cooper, or Cocoon (1985).
In this scene in particular ... geez, what a spoiled brat.
That really feels like they were doing it wrong. I suppose you could play the entire story as a satire on romantic love, so it doesn't matter if Roxane is superficial or Christian just a pretty face, but I find that less interesting than taking everyone in it as real.
(And don't even get me started about the on-again, off-again "are we pronouncing the names in French or English?" thing)

Right. I take it I can leave the rest.
