This is a great film and no mistake. Vivien Leigh is just so breathtakingly stunning as the beautiful Emma Hamilton (Lady Hamilton was the most beautiful woman in Europe or even the world at the time so I'm glad they cast the right person!!) Laurence Olivier was also fine as Nelson, though occasionally hamming up some parts with Vivien (understandably so, since Vivien seduces him on screen and off) But you can feel the chemistry a mile off and thats what matters. Another thing, and this is why its Churchill's favourite: IT's sOOOO pro ENGLAND!!! Its fantastic. They just all ooze in the greatness of their country, especially Emma's morbid and annoying husband William.

The music too is beautiful. The best scene is when Vivien (Lady Hamilton) thinks she's left behind by Nelson; and then as the music soars in the violinistic passion, she rushes on to the balcony and finds him there. GORGEOUS!!! sob sob Esther's rating: 10

It is always in people's nature to put down great things and to nit-pick or sometimes just be plain mean. No matter what anyone says, this is utterly fantastic: in story, in special effects, in casting (with perhaps the sad exception of Leslie Howard as "Ashley") and in captivation. Vivien Leigh is so powerful, passionate, magnificent and beautiful that you could watch it 1000 times on that ground alone. She brings something so convincing and human to the role of the selfish, spoilt Scarlett; the character is larger than life.

Leaving Vivien's astounding performance aside, this remains a sweeping unrivalled epic. Watch it. Esther's rating: 20/10

I had my various opinions of Audrey after seeing Charade and My Fair Lady, but THIS has to be one of the most lovely films EVER made. Audrey Hepburn isn't even a favourite of mine, but this is one of my favourite films ever.

Audrey is Holly Golightly, a sweet, charming, beautiful, stylish classy chick of the sixties. She continually throws parties in her appartement which send the japanese man above crazy; and she has one man after another after another, which all turn out, as she puts them: "rats, or super rats." Then she meets Paul. Although their relationship may be turbulent, is clear that they must be together from the start. Uptill then, Holly has lived alone with Cat and her concience. Now she has a true rock of a man in her life, and it takes a while for her to tame her pride and calm down. The story trundles sweetly along until suddenly somebody new appears on the picture. This is Doc, Holly's long forgotten husband from out in the wild west of America. This shocks Paul and Holly also, who's real name is Loula-May. Much as she loves Doc, she does not want to return to her past, as a wild little girl always getting dirty and into mischeif. Though she really is that little girl inside, and always will be. This film has a heartwarming sentiment, and beautiful moments. My first and favourite is when Holly sings "Moon River" and plays the guitar, the second and most touching is the "kiss in the rain with cat" I highly recommend this film... I loved it.
