The Story of Three Loves is just a very okay anthology film. With three stories, none ever overstay their welcome too much, but it does also feel a bit like three ideas that weren't able to be fleshed out to feature length, and so got the anthology treatment instead.
None are terrible or offensive, but I very much doubt any will stick with me... beyond maybe the first one, since it feels like a warm-up for James Mason for A Star is Born (1954), and like an inferior spiritual successor to The Red Shoes.
It's a film that popped up on my radar because I'm writing about Vincente Minnelli, but now I don't think it's good enough to warrant much discussion. That's just how it be sometimes.
