Best Love Story on Film

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2006)

The Notebook has now become my favorite film of all time. I'll admit, I love a love story. However, most end either with the lovers parting or with them finally together after some conflict, ready to begin the rest of their lives together (which the audience will never see). The Notebook shows us a couple whose love for each other is as strong in their later years as it was when they were young. Although we don't see all their years together portrayed in the film, the visit from Duke's children and the photo montage gave me a good enough glimpse of their lives. In that photo montage, I was sure I saw one actual photo of Gena Rowlands with John Cassavetes (instead of James Garner). Since Gena Rowlands and John Cassavetes were married, and the parents of director Nick Cassavetes, I thought it was touching. Can anyone confirm whether there is such a photo in the montage?
