...even to the breakdown of railroad transportation. Peking's Evening News reported that thousands of passengers had written in declaring their delight in the fact that express trains often made unscheduled stops of 15 minutes or more because the delays give them a chance to get out and perform calisthenics. "After the exercises," women of Chekiang province were quoted, "our limbs feel more relaxed and our brain more sober...
...absence from school on account of illness, a change of school, a change of home, the birth of a sibling, or an illness in the parents.

Both of the actors, Emmanuele Riva and Eiji Okada, perform excellently--she with an old woman's weariness--he with a solid diffidence which is never completely penetrated. Both as piece of cinematic fiction and as a document of the war, Hiroshima Mon Amour has outstanding merit. Every-one should see it at least once--more often if at all possible...
