This has been one of my favorite movies since I was a little girl. Not only has Audrey Hepburn been my idol, I am also a feen for old romantic movies. There is nothing about this movie that I disliked. I love everything about it I Especially the ending. I loved the whole twist.
" I have learnt how to live... How to be In the world and Of the world, and not just to stand aside and watch. And I will never, never again run away from life. Or from love, either... " I highly recommend this movie to everyone. It's a must see.
Great classic movie, couldn't agree with you more on this. Love the quote you included at the end, and also how you added the video. Did you like the remake or did it seem fake or somehow a "rip-off"? Remakes can go either way I think. But at least they had Harrison Ford in the lead.
