Another shriveled and beautiful dummy played by Hepburn, leading all who love her to despair

Oh god damn depressing, Hepburn's emotional scene, the thickness does not exist, the whole is a shriveled beautiful dummy. James Garner, the joy of dating a beloved woman, the desire to have a family, the pain, struggle, and obsession of being caught up in a strife; Shirley MacLaine, the jealous, self-suppressing, childlike honesty and goofy love . Hepburn, with her thin shoulders and wide-open watery eyes, said a lot but said nothing, walked around as if calm and gentle, but still led everyone around him to hell - just , in the end why did anyone fall in love with her!

The only character in the film who can logically close the loop is Fay Baint who plays the villain. Although she listened to the words of her granddaughter, spread rumors of the two female protagonists of the same sex, and then destroyed their careers and reputations, her every move was in line with the basic concepts of the times, and she also worked hard after realizing her fault. To make amends, her fault was only ill-informed, not root evil.

Because the age is too old, even imagining living in an extremely conservative and homophobic society makes me shudder. Watching this kind of film in the pride month is indeed of progressive significance that "comrades have to work hard before the revolution is over", but the film is really not good-looking.

    I'm so angry, I don't know how to rate this movie in my fantasy. It's a beautiful pull-up movie! How did it become a hunt! There is also said Hepburn is not suitable, I think she is too suitable, she is really straight, he may not feel it if you change it to someone else

    Public opinion kills people. Even more frightening is the malice of children. The malice of children is the truest malice. Shirley MacLaine is better than Hepburn in this film.

  • Dr. Joe Cardin: We can't go on like this. Everything I say is made to mean something else!

    Karen: I guess every word has a new meaning. Child, love, friend, woman. There aren't many safe words anymore. Even 'marriage' doesn't have the same meaning anymore.
