waterloo bridge

October 16 movie: Waterloo Bridge. Good God this movie was depressing. I wouldn't have recorded it if I had known how it was going to turn out. Robert Taylor and Vivian Leigh play a soldier and a ballerina who fall in love in the early years of WWI. He's called up before they can get married, then lost for dead during the war, and she's alone and poor and ends up whoring to survive. Lo and behold, he's not dead after all! They reunite, but she can't handle the shame so she throws herself under a truck. Ugh.
