A must see for any Natalie Wood fan. A truly moving piece about love, but more about manipulation, desperation, and those who escape their realities looking for something better. Robert Redford is handsome yet unforgiving, and the supporting characters act out their grunginess for railroad town. It wrenches at your heart and the song "Wish me a Rainbow" will haunt your memory of the film.
Girl With a Pearl EarringGirl With a Pearl Earring
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.00
A quietly captivating movie in which the fascination between master artist and house-maid is more important than sexual interaction. The serene understanding of art takes precedence in a refreshing fictional take on the story behind Vermeer' art. The connection between Johannson and Firth's characters is beautiful and tragic.... but what inspiration it created!

Youthful are the main actors – but no amateur version of T&I here. Sewell & Franco are great. Sophia Myles is the enchanting star of the film – believable and luminescent Irish princess torn between love and duty. With its lush landscapes and believable medieval turmoil, this tragic tale pulls the viewer into its social and ethical dilemmas. A love story that’s morally wrong, yet sadly beautiful

Wholesome and enchanting films for generations to come.
