About this product

Product Information

Late nineteenth century Cuba. Dawn. At the docks, Luis (Antonio Banderas) waits for his American mail-order bride. But, his wait seems to be in vain. Then, magically, she appears--Julia (Angelina Jolie). And, she is beautiful, unlike the woman whose picture she sent. But Luis had lied as well--he wrote that he was only a clerk in the coffee company that he actually owns. In spite of their deceptions, they marry immediately. They are blissfully happy, although Julia has her demons. She has nightmares, she ignores her sister's letters, and--mysteriously--won't open her trunk. Her sister sends an unnerving detective to check that she arrived. Still unsatisfied, her sister arrives herself. That's when Julia disappears with the money in Luis's bank accounts, instantaneously transforming Luis's dream into a nightmare.

  • Good story ruined by p0or direction.

    Based on the novel by Cornell Woolrich 'Waltz into Darkness' it is a story about love, but not a love story.. The Locations are excellent and the actors are good, the direction is poor. There are gratuitous sex scenes that add nothing to the plot, the mystery and the twists in the story are underplayed. This is the third adaption of the novel, now I'll try to track down the first two.

  • New Twjst On Original Sin

    No garden of Eden and the sin was different. Took two viewings to understand and further viewings to appreciate the subtlety.
