Had that ice sequence never been shot, I expect it wouldn't have made it into the 1001 book And, you're right, this film is real downer--we watched it in one of my film classes and a lot of students fell asleep.Kimberly J.M.

It is worse than anything you can throw at me in a movie.</i><br /><br />I like that you said that. While I don't have a problem with children dying or being hurt, I have zero tolerance for ANIMALS dying or being hurt. I just can't watch it or listen to it. It makes me feel a little better to read that another 1001 movie watcher has a hang-up similar to mine.<br /><br /><b><i>Way Down East</i></b> is most definitely a melodrama, and you're right, I think you do have to view it as a product of its time.siochembiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487373396181856763noreply@blogger.com
