Really entertaining romance
19 April 2007
What most people usually get wrong when they see movies is that they all should be so damn realistic.Don't you people have enough realism in your own lives.When I watch movies I want to be transported to either fantasy land or experience something different than just the drab existence of life. "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is a romance set against the Spanish Civil War.The Civil War isn't the important thing of the movie,it's the beautiful love story between Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman (how lovely she looked at this stage in her career).The whole cast perform great with especially Katina Paxinou's towering performance of Pilar a standout.Beautiful color cinematography and a great score by Victor Young are assets that makes for an enjoyable movie experience.
