SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

englishforyou Harry Mork (Glenn Ford's character) unfolds as a man getting older and wanting roots, family and belonging. But all are bundled into longing. For what he's longing for he's not sure. An eccentric postmistress(Geraldine Page) Evie, grows on him. She appears out of nowhere and she slowly gets into his mind and heart. Patrick, the son of a would-be fussy wife (Angela Lansbury)to Harry, becomes Harry's portal unto a different world. A world of assertiveness. Patrick, too, longs for love, found in a pre-hippie girlfriend named Zola, but he, too, knows that there is much more than a quicky and a fleeting relationship in Zola. Like Harry, Patrick is longing. And in Patrick, Harry sees a bit of himself. Something Patrick says makes Harry think: "Something has Got to be done about me!" Patrick emphasizes to Harry about being assertive in love.But the movie is more than relationships or the lack of.In Dear Heart we see a man edging closer to commitment. Not the commitment to Lansbury but one to the charming and under-the-radar Evie. Will they find love? Will they marry? Would they adopt the charming and introspective and grown Patrick?Love is found sometimes unexpectedly. Found love is to be acted upon before he or she flees. I expect that Harry made that commitment to Evie and, the next year, at the postmasters convention, Evie will have a roommate and a table for two.It's an amazing little movie. It's early 1960s but seems more in tune with the late 1960s. Like you would give love a chance, give this movie a chance.

mamalv What a great movie this is! Geraldine Page as the lonely postal employee in New York for a convention, meets Glenn Ford a man just promoted and hoping to finally settle down in one place. Angela Landbury is the woman he hopes to marry and settle down with. She is a high tone woman, with a grown son, who she has passed off, by an old picture as a young boy. Ford seems overwhelmed by the thought of the whole thing, and finds that Page is a port in the storm. You don't immediately see the chemistry between the two, but as the picture goes on, we see that they are kindred souls. She is sweet and social, and just a bit needy for companionship. He under everything is basically the same. In the end he chases her to the train station, realizing that he has truly met the woman who he can be with for the rest of his life. Excellent small film with wonderful performances by all.

edwagreen The best thing about this 1964 is Henry Mancini's title song.After giving brilliant performances in "Summer and Smoke," and "Sweet Bird of Youth," Geraldine Page portrays Evie Johnson, an outspoken postal worker from Ohio coming to a New York convention and finding love with salesman Glenn Ford who is engaged to Angela Lansbury, a widow with a very quirky son.Ford passes himself off as already married man. Is Page believable as Evie, methinks not.Alice Pearce is reduced to telling everyone to go to bed and Richard Deacon is denied the lines that made him in pictures-often standoffish and dictatorial. Even the usually funny Mary Wickes has little to do here.The story in itself is difficult to believe. Evie is the Helen Trent of her times.

gerroll Watched the first three minutes and was so taken with Geraldine Page's performance I spent noon til two glued to the TV. All the acting is wonderful with Glenn Ford at his best and Angela Lansbury at her usual level of excellence. Im about to look up who wrote and directed this. The combination of wit, charm and, above all, restraint is intoxicating. Any student of acting should watch Geraldine's perf over and over to watch how she plays against the pathos and chooses the sunny choice in a character that in other hands would fade into the shadows of sentimentality. The ending is strangely abrupt. If they wanted to end it suddenly they should have let her settling onto her suitcase in Penn station with studied delight be the final image.
