    An excellent movie, entertaining and insightful-- and one which leaves you with plenty of subjects for discussion. Recommended highly.

    No pun, Flies under the Radar

    by Juleinnyatthemovies

    This is a historically based, beautiful love story. The characters are strongly intertwined and move from present day to past throughout the movie. The acting was superb, the scenes were strong. Worth the price of a NYC movie ticket. Super scenery. Well, done. Not a chick flick. Wonderful. Please do go.
