I love films made in the 1970s. There seems to be something about how movies had real conversations & films were not filled with a never-ending action sequences. There are events in this film for sure but the characters travel through encounters & deal with the events. The acting and the story are wonderful. Maggie Smith was already playing the older woman back in 1972! Lou Gosset plays a relatively minor role, but imbues the film with a reality of an African man making it in a world of Europeans. His warmth & humanity in his role shines through, but equally can be said for the two leads. An undiscovered film for many, waiting to be discovered. Get ready to travel to other places in another time! Where Anglo culture meets the continent & beyond!
