“So, itu0026#39;s B-Grade and low budget… and? This is my favourite film of all time: itu0026#39;s emotional, itu0026#39;s very clever with flashback integration, and itu0026#39;s a reflection on different lives. Country people are as solid as the characters portrayed them, and 80 years ago, people lived and loved as the two main characters did. I am thoroughly annoyed I canu0026#39;t get it on DVD, Iu0026#39;ve worn out 3 video tapes now. Anyone who hasnu0026#39;t seen it needs to… if you have a heart anyhow. John Denver was so young when they made this, his talent has left us. He sings in this film, music Iu0026#39;ve not heard before and canu0026#39;t get from anywhere, but is a touching representation of life and love… Jessica Tandy and Hume are no longer with us either, and their real life love and true devotion shines through in the film and through their characters, making it easy to see just how much they loved each other.”
