Watching it again on TCM

I've seen this film so many times and yet always watch it when I see it on tv, even though I have the dvd! Such a tragic, haunting story. I know many say Julie C. was miscast, but I fell in love with her when I saw this on tv in the 70's.

They may think so but, having seen the movie before reading the book, I wouldn't have it any other way. I think everyone was cast well even though Terence Stamp had to grow on me.

Stamp, Finch and Bates were an amazing trio looking back now.

Just DVR'd it a few days ago and it's taken me that long to watch it!

Just watched it again. It seems I watch it every year or two.

Just DVR'D from TCM it for my 1st viewing of this film. Julie is delicious, as usual. TCM, bravo for the ultra wide-screen & great picture quality, plus leaving in "overture", "intermission" etc reminding us you show films uncut. Plus, TCM also had *McCabe & Mrs Miller" for my DVR, for another dose of Julie. 😍
