Ok... Fine... It's A Classic... I Got That...
Note: I've never read the book either...
But what a bunch of pathetic, cringing characters! I pity Philip and I wish he'd stop behaving like a doormat, and I despise Mildred for coming across as a opportunist whore slut-bag. (During Bettie's "You're a swine" rant, I SO wished Phil would have grown a pair of stones and slapped the hell outta her!) It's hard for me to feel any sympathy for anyone here.
I'm not blind to the superb music score, great acting & skilled editing...
I can see the greatness... But I guess this film just isn't my cup of tea.
Trust me,

My, you're nosey, aren't you?
