@tomkes100douchebag You bet, my all-time favorite! I'll admit it is a bit soap operish, but I love the romance - "Maybe you don't, Mrs. Henry, but this cookie does!" and the court room drama - "You assumed!" Name me one recent movie that had the elements of romance and drama with no explicit sex or foul language like The Young Philadelphians does. PS. As far as the acting, two actors were up for academy awards...
Wow, it's quite rare that I see the woman advancing upon the man, who declares that he "wants more" than just a temporary physical relationship. Admirable of him, but hardly likely...at least, that's what Hollywood tells us these days. "All people want is sex", "all people are SUPPOSED to want is sex", "if people don't want sex, there's something wrong with them"....sense my agenda?
@lorrainewands At the end of the scene, he goes 'Phew', as in, he didn't want her, but used the ultimatum card to get her to back down first so he didn't have to insult her.
This movie contains what is probably Smith's finest film work, in only four scenes, As usual, in sexist, ageist Hollyood, she's playing an "older woman" to Newman, who was, in fact, less than four years younger than she.
@wjcwolk Your ALL-TIME favorite? Are you kidding??? No complaints about the acting, but there was really not much going on in this way too long meandering mess.
film. I was 10 years old, and Oh my God!I may not have understood everything, but I knew I was in love! And I have been ever since. He was a beautiful man inside and out all of his life. Great actor, great humanitarian. We were all blessed to have him with us for eighty three years!
Amen. I can't remember a time when I didn't know who Paul Newman was. I think the reason why he aged so beautifully was that he was always the same gorgeous personality.
I believe if Paul Newman caught the beautiful and statuesque Alexis Smith ten years before this...he'd have torn off her nightgown. She was a looker. And so is Paul. Hmmmmmm!!
My God. The way he kisses. I love the way some films portray this we-love-each-other-but-we-can't-stay-together angst. Knowing they're walking away from each other in love and in pain is just heartbreaking.
Note to Alexis Smith's character: Er, honey? You have a hot, young Paul Newman lying there, informing you that he wants both hot sex AND a long-term relationship with you. And you're turning him down? HELLO?!

Tony is a very smart boy! This is my all-time favorite movie. Smart, sexy, romantic, dramatic - they don't make them like this anymore.
