I originally read the book. Later I viewed the 1992 version which you may also want to view.
The film is monochrome and naturally in full-screen format.
At the time of my purchase, this was not available in the U. S., so I purchased from Amazon.fr and I am using a region, free player.
This 1935 version is not as good as the remake and some of the characters are reversed in their ways. However, aside plus which is a lot of fun is recognizing the actors and placing them in other films in which you remember them.
Over the years some people have become more fun and interesting. On the other hand, some become staunch and passionless. It seems that Lottie (Ann Harding) picked the latter to marry. One day at her club she sees an advertisement to rent an Italian villa for a month she shows this to a friend Rose and offers to share the cost.
This leads to a great adventure with the beautiful Italian villa "San Salvatore."
The story is well written and could have been made into a good play as it has all the elements of understanding and misunderstanding. Even some explosive scenes.
There all the characters, looking for a retreat from life, find each other again; for some the first time. You will find yourself wanting it to go on.
