Love Scene
This movie pops up on late night TV occasionally, which is how I first saw it years ago. One version has been cut to make room for commercials, and unfortunately they removed the love scene. I think the movie is poorer for that cut.
shareI sped through that sequence as it labors and adds nothing to an otherwise excellent film.
Nothing exists more beautifully than nothing.
Those two must have really had the hormones going to feel the mood when surrounded by a bunch of armed, mutinous africans.
shareFrankly, the skinny and boyish Mia Farrow never seemed a suitable love interest (seems even Woody Allen preferred their adopted daughter...)
Come on lads, bags of swank!
Ignoring the unnecessary and unpleasant comment in parenthesis, your posting makes me wonder if you've actually seen the film because the 19 year old Mia Farrow, appearing very full in the face, looks nothing like her waif like appearance in subsequent films. I don't know if it was teenage puppy fat or whether she deliberately cultivated that later ultra-slim look.
shareYes, I have seen the film a number of times, mainly for Attenborough's excellent turn as the RSM finally getting his piece of real war.
Farrow at 19 probably weighed 90 pounds and however fat her face was had a boyish figure and zero sexual magnetism.
As far as my remark of Woody's choice of sexual partner, are you suggesting that it didn't happen that way?
Come on lads, bags of swank!
Both Woody and his step daughter were messed up to hurt Mia like that.
