Rating: - "Dear Heart, Wish you were here, to warm this night .."
With those lines, Henry Manicini's song begins one of the finest romatic movies Hollywood ever produced. I have loved "Dear Heart" from my first viewing many years ago on television, and I was glad when it was first released on VHS. I actually sent letters asking the movie be saved. Now, it is about to be forgotten again, and that would be a shame. I hope someone will rescue this most wonderful of movies and release it on DVD. I promise to be an ardent customer.
Why is the movie so special? - wonderful script, superb acting, careful direction, and, of course, Henry Mancini's haunting score.
Geraldine Page, one of the finest actresses to grace the stage or silver screen, shines as the loveable, sometimes whacky, and always genuinely beautiful Evie Jackson. Her performance as Evie is a thing of beauty, to be enjoyed, marveled at, and treasured.
In the movie, Evie hasn't found love, but she hasn't ... Read More
Rating: - Beautifully romantic Movie!
Probably one of the most romantic Films ever made, starring Geraldine Page and Glenn Ford as the unlikely couple thrown together by chance circumstances.
This Movie gives Geraldine Page an opportunity to show what a versatile actress she really is. Compare this role, say, to that which she plays in 'What Ever Happened To Aunt Alice' and you'll see what I mean! From the moment this Movie starts, you are endeared to the character Evie Jackson; her simple and child-like innocence and vulnerability moves you to tears, and will capture your heart from the beginning. From saving message cards sent to herself as mementoes from a 'lonely' trip away from home alone - to paying Bellboys to 'page' her name for nothing more than to feel 'wanted'... Evie Jackson is one of those people who is naturally 'nice', and blissfully unaware of it; someone nobody misses until they are gone from this life... ... Read More
Rating: - Lovely
This film came out just as I was new in Chicago, in a new city, with a new job, in a terrible lirttle apartment and so so alone. I was 25 and had all but given up ever finding love. I think I saw this movie about eight times because I could identify with the story so much. I felt no one understood me but at least this movie did. Soon after the movie left the theatre out of the blue love came to me. It was literally love at first sight and in fact both of us that day felt that at this party we were invited to we would be meeting our life partner. We of course only discovered that fact later. We were together 30 wonderful years until death separated us. When I look back at the little boy I was, so isolated, so lonely, I know the happy ending of this film is true to life. Geraldine Page is a wonder in this film, but so is everyone other actor in the screen. The feeling for New York City is keen and observant. ... Read More
Rating: - Movie - 5 stars. Video transfer - 1 star - - -
Somebody at Warner Bros. wasn't paying attention. There's a problem with the audio on the VHS version. The effects and music tracks are screwed up. A single sound (knock on a door) is repeated. This ain't reverb...more like selsync feedback. A minor irritation and after a while you get used to it. But, still - C'mon you guys! It's a GREAT movie! Pay attention!
