This movie is a real sleeper. I saw part of it once on satellite years ago, liked what I saw, and finally decided to purchase the Blu-ray recently. Really glad I did.
I love the entire movie. It amazes me that this film was a box office disaster.
Everything in the film works great, however the very best thing about it, is the way it ends.
Its obvious that the ending was trying to set up a sequel it never got, but, it's a totally satisfying ending. Perhaps the best ending to a movie ever.
It's great in every department. The acting is very good. Taylor Kitsch in particular stood out as a leading man.
If you haven't seen it.... see it.

I bought the Bu-ray, thinking perhaps Paris would be more attractive than the version I saw years ago on some cable network.
NO... it's still unacceptable. This film might as well have been shot in Hoboken, New Jersey. To make matters even worse, the entire Paris background was a film running in the background during the boat scenes, and the boat was a set in a studio in Burbank, Ca.. The only beautiful exteriors were shot when Audrey was on vacation in the Alps. That was shot 'as you see it'.... Very nice. Most of the interiors were studio shots, and the only places I know for sure that were shot in Paris, were the market place, and the train station. There are some random Paris shots throughout, but the majority of the film was shot on a lot at Universal Studios in Burbank.
Next time you watch the movie, really look at what you are seeing. There isn't much of France in this movie. If there was, they would have exploited its beauty. Not the case here.
The story has been told a hundred times before, and the main thing I like about it is the cast. Nothing else really impresses me. Poorly executed, terribly photographed, predictable ending. Hitchcock would have never made this movie.
I'll give it two stars for Cary, and Audrey..
