“I saw this film about 10 years ago and have never forgotten it. Why it is not available on DVD – I just donu0026#39;t understand it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOlivia de Havilland is heart-breaking as the woman who is so badly treated by her suitors and her father. I felt the portrayal of her father and the cruel way he treats her was so well played out and you could see how her soul is slowly being crushed. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI was so amazed and touched by the film, I went and got the book it is based on, Henry Jamesu0026#39; Washington Square. It was superb but nothing will make me forget the look on Olivia De Havillandu0026#39;s face at the end of the movie where you can see her features harden and all her youthful sweetness is gone. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBrilliant film!”
