This predecessor to Fatal Attraction easily ranks as Eastwood's finest effort. Upwardly striving guy abandons his true love for a rich girl. From the book by John Braine. Shy writer C.S. Lewis and his tragic love for the brash Joy Gresham. Tender yearning, not quite love.
Obsessive passion destroys a woman's life.
But a hammer with which to shape it. The other one of the two most sensuous harpsichord pieces ever written. Finest known example of the art of the lullaby, and wonderful for singing your love to sleep. They don't sing them like this any more. Haunting music and lyrics, composed and sung by one of the best male singers of the age.
