The screenplay is what makes this film above all else. Nothing less than brilliant! The film captures the political mood of Hollywood at that time. The two main characters were interesting throughout. The ending is by far the saddest I have ever seen in any film, having two daughters myself, both very much Daddy's girls, I cry every time I watch the last scene. After they split, as he's based in Hollywood, she in NY, they decide best he doesn't see his daughter, to allow Katie's new husband to be her dad. In a chance meeting on a NY street..., 'She's beautiful, Hubble, you'd be so proud, you'll see her when you come for that drink.' 'I...I...I can't, Katie...I can't....you know I can't come...is he a good father?' 'Yes, Hubble, he's a good father, a very good father.'..........' Take care, Katie' 'And you, Hubble.....' He walks away, the music starts up again.... The End. I'm welling up now, just thinking about it!!
