I rented the movie on my Netflix and watched it last night. I thought that it was great adaptation of the novel. Ingrid Bergman and Gary Cooper manage to be very sexy without the blatant sex in today's movies. Gary Cooper is wonderful as Jordan, and the final scene is very moving. I know that it was done in those days to put Caucasian actors in minority roles, but I just did not like seeing Ingrid as the Mexican Maria. She played the part well; she just did not look it. I am reminded of Orson Welles playing Othello. Couldn't the movie producers see back then how ridiculous is would look? Oh, well; at least we have learned from the past.
I did like the movie and highly recommend it.
