It is one of my wife's favorite films, and served as her introduction to Rachmaninoff (the 18th Variation, particularly). Reeve IS sweet but it is interesting how a big man can show vulnerability and sweetness...can we imagine that role played by a big man today?Reeve might have been a great actor trapped in a too-beautiful face and body (it is telling that when Marlon Brando's nose was broken, he refused to have it fixed because he thought he looked too beautiful before, an opinion that Tennessee Williams, among others, shared). It is unfortunate that just as he began to lose the cutting edge of his looks to age and we might get the opportunity to see him as a character actor (something I think he personally would have been very comfortable with), that he had his accident.
