               it's least expected!

Music selections from the movie on the jukebox...

1. The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore - Walker Brothers

Directed by Anthony Minghella (The Talented Mr. Ripley and Cold Mountain) and released on May 24, 1991 by The Samuel Goldwyn Company (rated PG). Nina (Juliet Stevenson) is heartbroken after the death of Jamie (Alan Rickman), the love of her life. That is until he returns. Nina is happy having Jamie back even if it is in his "after life" form. But how long can she hold on to her past before she has to let go?

I saw this movie when it played in a little theater back in '91 and it became an instant favorite. It's a little British movie that's sweet, romantic, funny and heartbreaking. As anyone who's lost someone, the idea of them being able to come back is a lovely thought. This movie handles the transition of moving on without them here gracefully, beautifully and with a bit of humor.

Alan Rickman is wonderful in this. If you haven't seen it, and like a good romantic movie, give it a try. It's well worth it.

Take a look at the original trailer...

Some trivia about the movie...

1. Alan Rickman had cello lessons, and handles the right (bowing) hand, but the left hand is provided by a real cellist standing behind him with his arm through Alan Rickman's armpit. Juliet Stevenson does play her piano part however.   
2. The Charles Chaplin film the ghosts are watching that gets cut off is Easy Street.   
3. Anthony Minghella wrote the film specifically for actress Juliet Stevenson.   
4. The poem Jamie asks Nina to translate is "The Dead Woman" by Pablo Neruda.
