My BD finally arrives tomorrow. I like the movie more so than you. It’s at least a 4/5 Stars in my estimation.

 

[JPCinema]

One of the best written, acted and directed films I've seen in my lifetime. One of the great films!

 

[Lee Sandersen]

Natalie Wood was amazing in so many ways, not to mention beautiful. Count me in on this one.

Natalie Wood is my favorite actress. I fell in love with her when I was 10 years old. She died when I was 13 and I was devastated.

This film and WSS released only a week apart from each other made her a global box office superstar.

I can't wait for my copy to arrive.
