Just a cautionary note — my then-younger daughters found it very upsetting and have never quite forgiven dad for having them watch it. In other words, not for younger sensitive viewers.
& Just a wild bit of trivia — when I lived in Ireland I was friends with the college-age twin daughters of the stuntman who performed that “famous swan dive.” One of the twins actually became a Christian later in life.
Just bought a trio of Willa Cather, planning to knit myself into a lyrical, dreamy My Antonia reunion, follow with O Pioneer and for dessert a never-read Death Comes for the Archbishop.
I'll reverse course, of course, of course, so I can enjoy The Mission (again).
What better plan to avoid (some) weed pulling this Labor Day weekend!
Thanks for this. I saw it for the first time earlier this year but upon you mentioning it I think I’ll unwind to the soundtrack this evening after my studies.
This has been one of my favorite movies since it came out...a MUST see! And the score is the best of movie music! A great suggestion 😊
