Oh god, what heartbreak. Not the most thrilling filmmaking here, but elevated to grand heights by de Havilland's performance. Somehow her VOICE changes gradually over the course of the movie, hardening into bitterness and resolve in a way that I've never seen before. Clift is of course his wonderful self, and I love the downer ending. Really wonderful.
