I originally saw this movie during a late night TV marathon for all the movies these two actors made together. I fell in love with them as an acting duo and recommended a few of their movies to multiple people. But years passed and I eventually forgot their names and the title of the movie.
Has anyone seen this movie recently? I saw it back in the 90’s and I thought it was brilliant, passionate, romantic, and tragic. But I also remember it being quite crude with the dialogue and it’s probably pretty sexist by today’s standards.
I have always wanted to share this movie with my wife, but I couldn’t remember what it was called. I have asked around before and no one knew what it was, based on my description. I just asked ChatGPT and it instantly identified it. I haven’t seen it in 25 years, and I’m wondering if it holds up. Is this a good movie? Do you think it is wise to recommend to my wife that we watch this?
For those who don’t know it…

I’ll be back later after I soak up (coincidentally) some more Mediterranean sea and sun ☀️🌊🏄
