9/10
One of my favorite movies of all time!
24 January 2013
Could be considered to have spoilers!!!!

Its not Hitchcock, great. Its not Casablanca or Gone with the wind, great. The cinematography is nothing special, nor is the acting. The characters are cartoonishly simplistic.

But the story is so special, so rich in the depiction of the poverty of the wife, and the riches of the waitress, even as she is filing bankruptcy. Brings tears to my eyes.

In the quotes section:

Yvonne Biasi: Because of me, you have nothing. Charlie Lang: Because of you, I have you.

And the ending, on both sides.......simply couldn't be better. So if you need a hug, this is the movie equivalent.
