Not a complete remake of Jules et Jim, Willia & Phil stands on its own as a unique love story. Almost a half a century later, Willie & Phil has become a forgotten time capsale of a world that no longer exists. A sad truth that this movie holds is how the characters of the story reflect the actors that had portrayed them. Ray Sharkey and Margot Kidder perfectly protray their character since much of their motivation in their performance was taken from personal experience. Both Actors died too soon and from sad consequences to the lives they both lived. Some of the dialogue spoken by them shares their own story when it comes to love and life. True fans of these two talents will agree that a study of Willie & Phil is worth the watch.
