This, my good people, is an American Classic: forty minutes of boring character introductions, twenty minutes of plot development, five minutes of romantical warm fuzzies, and then they die. If I was Man, or Lady for that matter, I would be highly upset at the tears of joy shed over my miserable life. But at least the story ends with a 30-second happily ever after-death scene.
And could someone please tell me where that pocket watch came from in the first place?
I found the sheet music to the main theme in this movie in our shelf the other day and played it and it was hideous and boring. It matches the movie perfectly!
