Editorial Reviews
"...Here was innocence, here was sexual power, here was the Casanova who would, over time, be[come Warren Beatty]..." -- Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (04/07/1995)

3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] landmark in Hollywood melodrama, standing squarely between elegantly overwrought classical studio style and the fresh, intimate immediacy of French New Wave."
Empire - Angie Errigo (03/01/2009)
