"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Used People | 1993 | PG-13 | - 3.1.5
Marcello Mastroianni romances Shirley MacLaine at her husbands funeral, after having carried a torch for her for a long time.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - A little kissing and some sexual references. A man is shown in his underwear and a woman in panties and bra, she handcuffs him to the bed and threatens with hot wax from a candle.
VIOLENCE/GORE 1 - A couple of arguments, nothing physical. A boy walks on train tracks contemplating suicide but nothing happens.
LANGUAGE 5 - There is a smattering of four letter words, including the F-word.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Extra marital sex alluded to, death, insanity, suicide (the grandson, missing his grandfather and unable to reach his mother tries to hurt himself by walking on railroad tracks in order to get attention). This might be disturbing to some children.
MESSAGE - You are never too old to start over. We all make mistakes and they can't be undone, but things can get better. There are no hopeless causes.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
