The Sound of No Music - The Outlaw and His Wife review by griggs
Love conquers all. Unfortunately, "all" includes the law, starvation and the weather.
Victor Sjöström's fugitive and Edith Erastoff's widow flee to the mountains, which start as refuge and end as jailer. Their figures swallowed by the landscape stuck with me.
My copy had no music, though, so scenes meant to soar just sat there. The middle felt like a long, quiet hike.
Worth another go with a score. "Silent" was never meant this literally.
