Film Review: Waterloo Bridge

Waterloo Bridge is a sad love story in which the lovers cannot live together because of the war. In my opinion, it is a masterpiece.

The story takes place in the time of the World War I. A beautiful ballerina（芭蕾舞女演员）Myra(Vivien Leigh) falls passionately in love with officer Roy Cronin (Robert Taylor). But they have to be parted when he is called to do his duty during the World War I. Alone and increasingly poor, she learns that he has been killed in action. And so, broken hearted and unconcerned for her, she drifts into prostitution, plying the world's oldest profession along Waterloo Bridge. But he comes back and happens to meet her at the station. They go to meet his family, and he tries to marry her. But in her heart, she cannot forgive herself, so she leaves without saying goodbye and goes towards the cars bravely. He comes only to find the thing she leaves at the Waterloo Bridge.

It is black and white, yet many people like it very much, just like me. What interest us most are the actress and the moving plot. Robert Taylor is a bit miscast, Leigh carries the film with a truly remarkable performance. She is really beautiful and good at acting. The cast also features an exceptional performance by Lucile Watson as Lady Margaret and notable turns by Maria Ouspenskaya, C. Aubrey Smith, and a host of others.

Although less well known than such tragic romances as Garbo's Camille, Waterloo Bridge is easily the equal of such and considerably better than most. The romantic aura is powerful, the direction, photography, and script are first rate. And at the center of it all we have perhaps the most beautiful actress of her era, Vivien Leigh, in one of her finest performances.

It is really moving and great. I like it very much, so do most of my friends. You should go and see it some day.
