It's so frustrating when a movie has the ingredients to click well, but doesn't gel. Ingrid Bergman's character is a "mature" woman and supportive wife, living a conventional life, but her capacity for joy and passion is ignited when accompanying her professor husband to the country for a year while he attempts to write a book. She meets the handyman played by Anthony Quinn and for him it is love at first sight. This whole episode is downright creepy however, with Quinn immediately leering and letching and touching her inappropriately. He's supposed to be a charmingly simple man, determinedly happy, willing to accept whatever Ingrid can give. Instead, he makes your skin crawl and is the type you'd avoid at all costs. So why do I think it could have worked? Ingrid of course is luminous and carries the plot as best she can. With a more attractively drawn potential lover, played with a lighter and more subtle hand, it could have been an intriguing interplay. His eventually showing that he treats her with great respect and proclamation that he will always be there for her could have been very romantic. The ending is bittersweet (really the only logical outcome) and has a real poignancy. But at the end of the day, it's a watch only for die-hard Bergman fans.
