As others have written, this film has events that stay very similar scene to scene. But I liked some things, early on: the black and white camera work, & I was curious about these Actors I knew little about, and I kept wondering where this "different" (maybe even "vague") kind of story was headed.
In the last few scenes, the "story" started to feel very true. I don't think it is a periodic film, because the story spoke to me like this: Parks' character was very tied up emotionally/spiritually. He was stuck into living Life as he had it stored inside himself -- collected from his whole past-life, while Celia Kaye's character was younger and still trusting her chance at finding a good/better place in her life. After the ending, I felt blessed with its image of a personal option we each have to accept where you-and-your-"insides" are today; and no matter how challenging those characteristics are, you may still accept your Self as a real place to Be, and from where you may move forward. Kaye's character seemed to have found that out a little sooner, and Parks' was blessed to have found her. After the ending I felt I had been helped to get more grounded. Oh> note: I saw the movie in Dec. 2019 on cable (TCM), so you have a better chance of seeing it now, yourself.
