People seem to have odd reactions to this.... maybe because it is very European in mood and style, maybe because it is somewhat sexy, it draws strong reactions about what it is and isn't.
I like it because of the scenery, it's international Jet Set flavor, and it indulges a fantasy of a lifestyle where an actor gets to be in beautiful places and have affairs with beautiful women. When I saw it as a younger man, it was appealing. It doesn't work out well and gets sad for the parties involved, and that's a real possibility too. That's a lesson many of us learn for ourselves in life.
We have to mention a big part of the appeal here is the romantic draw of beautiful Greta... this movie supplies some scenes that are tastefully done and she is at her lovely peak at this time. No big news... many movie viewers follow a given star who has an appeal that seems to suit us in a particular way... and love to linger in a daydream there. Greta, in her sophisticated and sleepy-eyed beauty does this for me. But even besides that, it's an interesting enough film to deserve a seven.
