The End of the Affair (1999)
Drama turned Comedy
I think the best way to describe this movie is by describing the audiences reaction to the movie... during dramatic moments in the film burst of laughter could be heard around the theater. I noticed over 10 individuals leave the theater during the movie never to return. One group of 3 ran out of the theater attempting to control their laughter. Where the movie attempted to be deep- it turned simplistic, MELODRAMATIC!, and even humorous. It seemed no one in the production had ever experienced the love they were attempting to depict... their depiction of Love failed miserably. The sex scenes got duller and duller as the same "movie score" repeated itself for the 1,000 time. As the credits rolled and the rush for the door started, I heard everyone commenting on their dislike of the film. The 17 year old boy behind me said it best, "That SUCKED!"
Caesar and Cleopatra (1945)
Vivien Leigh is Cleopatra!
The film overall is slow and laborous but Vivien's performance as Cleopatra is sublime. I wish she was the only cast member! Her range is incredible from a young, playful kitten of a queen to a dignified ruler of Egypt.
Seeing Vivien in full Cleopatra garb is breath-taking! She raises beauty to a different level.
Waterloo Bridge (1940)
Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor are the perfect couple.
Not only was "Waterloo Bridge" Robert Taylor's favorite film but it was Vivien's also. She felt that Myra was a character closer to her heart than any other (Scarlett, Blanche, Emma, Anna, etc.)
