This is a sweet film. I was very impressed with the film editing because the film is beautifully set to a jazz soundtrack motivated by the narrative since the male protagonist ("Guy" of the title) is a jazz trumpet player. The film not only depicts the romance of the leads (Guy and Madeline), but also the city in which they live. I really enjoyed the beautiful city shots, both in Boston and New York. The soundtrack is great - especially the jazz, including that played by Guy, but not only. The film is full of references to French post-war films so it's added fun to watch for the expert as well. The director did a lot with the camera, so it works well that the film is rather sparse in dialog. The actors' faces say everything. The lead performers, in particular, were outstanding: their faces are extraordinarily expressive. The moments when the actors break out in song and dance were just pure fun.
