...revival, She Loves Me has the faded fragrance of a pressed flower. The musical is shamelessly romantic, head over heels in love with love. Amalia (Madeline Kahn) and Georg (Barry Bostwick) are secretly lonely-heart pen pals who have corresponded ardently for a year.

Director Joseph Strick has made several other films (The Balcony, Ulysses), although it is not apparent here.
