It's in a kiss

Rating: 9/10 (23 January 2006)

A story of true love that harks back to old Hollywood. All the performances are strong, It's not one of those films where one performance stands out and makes you go wow, look what they can do. For me it's about putting a group of actors together who, without fail, compliment each other.
Over the years it has gained a somewhat cult status, which is strange for a film of this type, could it be that the story and the deft touches appeal even in this cynical world of ours. That could be it, it shows us a time, abet imaginary, where things are simpler, honour is important and true love is worth fighting for.
This film is a joy to watch, every now and then I will return to it, expecting it to have aged. I am never disappointed, it's gentle approach and wit always hook me within the first 15 mins and I'm there to the end waiting for the Grandfathers line. Magic.
