This review is from: Raintree County (VHS Tape)

I've always loved this movie but never figured out why until recently -- it's the music. I've always had a liking for melancholy music (like Rachmaninoff) but don't know why. Inherited, I suppose.
The movie itself is good but not great. I like the way Monty Clift played his part -- assured but not cocky, seeming to say only what was needed when it was needed. Liz did a good job, too. There's one scene that takes place on the bottom of their bed, where she's trying to explain the fire, the doll, and what it all meant, and which was extended and had to require decent acting ability to make credible.
The ending is murky as to what really happened. But I still love the movie. Were the music different, then probably not so much.
