I absolutely loved Anthony Perkins in this film! To see him smile and be so charismatic and sneaky none of the eerie, psychotic Norman Bates and I welcomed this departure. Some have posted that Anthony Perkins was too skinny to play the role. What the hell does that even mean? We can all relate to having fallen for someone who was "not what we want" and there is noting wrong with that! By the way it is completely believable that Ingrid's character would be intrigued by him. His youth, his brazen attitude, openness and desire for this older woman. Oh and what of the lovely Ingrid Bergman. Need I say more? The woman is fantastic. Yves Montand is sexy and awful at the same time. A great performance. There were some lovely supporting roles throughout the film. And the back drop of France makes this a beautiful film visually. I feel this is a great film to see.

Confessions of an American Bride
(2005 TV Movie)
Very well done!
27 July 2005
I was totally prepared to dislike this movie, why? No clue. but Shannon Elizabeth is quite charming and adorable and the guys? Not too shabby either both very cute and both engaging in their prospective roles, one as the lovable yet somewhat clueless fiancé and the other as the hunk who got away. There are performances by some women in the film, you know the usual bitchy and catty lot and the one real cool one. It plays well and quickly and in usual TV movie it has the problem as well as the rush to a resolution as the movie is nearly done. But all in all it is a fun time. I have proof! My boyfriend watched and laughed! He laughed although he pretended not to watch it. I suggest to go out and pick it up as it's on DVD!!!
