delightful

The first care is not compare it with the original. Because it fights to be different; and it just wins.

It is different for a sort of swet melancholia.

For the beautiful connection between Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer.

For the dialogue of ages.

And , sure, for teaspons of nice to touching humor.

In short, it is just one of film deserving to be loved because, in more measure than the version Hepburn- Fonda, offers a dialogue with audience about small significant things defining the life in its essence.

In short, just delightful and the joy to feel yourself just fine seeing, like the fruit of a good tea cup is just, in my case, less, mmore than precious.
