@crimsonmoon92 I read the french version of the book (2000 pages) and im at the half. Its a masterpiece! If you like this novel you should read The Count of Monte Cristo too.

@KoMmIzZaR98 The film, that is more short, more linear and is 100% action. But is better if you read the book. It's longer, but you have the real impression of the characters and not only actions of battles.

Thanks for putting this up :) Just watched this recently and I thought that Audrey Hepburn and Mel Ferrer would have made a great 'Judy' and 'Jervis' if another adaptation of 'Daddy-Long-Legs' (by Jean Webster) had been done. And just because I love Jeremy Brett so much, he could have been 'Jimmie', haha ;P

Anita Ekberg was very sexy.
