5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Love Story from the 70s, April 2, 2007

This review is from: Griffin and Phoenix - A Love Story [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I watched this movie when I was a young girl and I fell in love with its simple, yet heart-breaking story. One of my favorite scenes is when Griffin paints "Griffin loves Phoenix" on a water tower. I also liked the last hospital scene when Griffin goes to see Phoenix during her chemo treatment (I believe). I won't give away all the details but I will say that it's a VERY SAD moment in the picture.

This movie is highly recommended for anyone who still believes that love is worth the gain, as well as the pain.

This review is from: Griffin and Phoenix - A Love Story [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have watched all the Columbo seasons on DVD lately and still his star performarence of all times MUST be Phoenix and Griffin.Especially that last scene where , as far as I remember, it's 20 years ago I saw the movie, Peter Falk discovers a flat tire after Jill Clayburgs funeral and just start smashing the windshields of the other parked cars. He is just so mad at God that he could explode. But instead of blowing some innocent person away he let his steam come out this way. ********** maximum number of stars, movie, period. ( I have cancer myself but is recovering).

I heard today of passing of JILL CLAYBURGH and thogh she made alot of movies this one was the one
I remembered best. I was a young medical student and watching this film ,I think, played a big rule on how to approach this darn disease and other near death situations. My favorite scene is when the painter paints over the words they had written on a tall water tank; Griffin loves Phoenix. And RIP Jill.
