94Rereading Greene's book, one is struck anew by the absolute perfection of the film's casting.
-
80I'd put The End of the Affair just beneath the top rung of Jordan movies or Greene-based films (it's no "The Fallen Idol" or "The Third Man"), with Moore the critical element that makes it necessary viewing.
-
60About halfway through I began to imagine it as it might have been directed by Douglas Sirk as a vehicle for Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson.
-
25"I didn't write this." In heaven, Graham Greene is mumbling those same words over and over right now.
