I liked this movie about a very odd romance.
But why does the heroine still love Cock Robin at the end when: 1) He treats her very badly throughout the film; 2) he was a suspect in the sheep farmer's death, which was apparently never solved; 3)he has an uncaring attitude toward her father; 4) he is unable to offer comfort when her father and brother die -- even delaying telling her about her father's death; 5) he had just had a plan to marry the sheep herder's daughter whom he calls "the butterball" for the money. 6) He has no remorse about anything, even the man who died during one of his shows.
Perhaps times were very different back then in eastern Europe. A girl in the audience seemed to attribute the heroine's ability to do so much for him because of his looks. "Wouldn't you?" she asked another girl.
Very odd, but fascinating.
