Movie Reviews of Enchantment
Movie Review: Love can be a guiding light
Summary: 5 Stars
Enchantment is a beautiful love story told in a series of flashbacks by a World War II British general named Rollo (David Niven) who recalls his love for a young girl who has come to live with his family after her parents were killed in a train accident.As time passes Rollo and the girl Lark fall in love and decide to marry. Their plans are foiled by Rollo's jealous sister Selena (Jayne Meadows) who arranges a military appointment that separates the lovers.When Rollo returns from service he finds that Lark has married someone else.Years later when the heartbroken Rollo finds his niece about to make a similar mistake he steps in to prevent this from happening as the film ends. Teresa Wright's superb performance as Lark is dominant in an outstanding cast which includes Niven, Meadows, Evelyn Keyes, Farley Granger and Leo G. Carroll. Direction by Irving Reis is solid and Gregg Toland's photograhy and Hugo Friedhofer's musical score lend important support to Enchantment.Movie Review: Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a " they don't make 'em like that anymore " type of movie. No pyrotechnics or absurd chase scenes just a good story beautifully acted. A film in which the actors were required to enunciate their lines clearly. And the Producer adhered to correct English usage. It's such a relief to watch good acting accompanied with the pleasant music of the language properly spoken.
Most modern producers allow their actors to speak in whispers against a clutter of noise. You have to turn the sound up during the dialogue and turn it way down during the action: very annoying.
So,if you're like me, and enjoy a good story, good acting and simple straight forward entertainment then I think you will like this movie
Movie Review: One of my favorite movies of all time
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this movie when I was about ten, and it has stayed with me ever since. While watching it again last night, I was reminded of all the reasons why I loved it in the first place -- it's truly a beautiful film. The best scene of all is when Rollo and Lark kiss for the first time, and the scene leading up to it -- sigh! My heart goes pitty pat every time I think about it. The cinemetography is very well done, as a previous reviewer commented. I did wish they'd just stick with Rollo and Lark -- I wasn't near as captivated by Pax and Grizel. You must see this movie if you could yourself a romantic at all.Movie Review: After decades, Enchantment Still Casts a Spell
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a movie of moods, beautifully constructed and perfectly acted by David Niven, Teresa Wright, and Evelyn Keyes. Its dual stories capture the settled society of late-Victorian England and the urgency of romance during WW II. I remember seeing it when it first came out. It haunted me for decades, and seeing it again recently comfirmed that it still speaks eloquently to the heart. Masterful work, film at its classic best.Movie Review: Very Romantic!

I first saw this movie on television as a child. It became one of my all time favorite movies. I was so affected by it that when my first and only child was born I named her Lark after Theresa Wright's character. To this day both she and I get compliments and questions regarding the origin of her unique and beautiful name. I would recommend this film to everyone I know!
