There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
