- Her broken english, her jolly bustling love affair with Nathan viewed from the eyes of Stingo bring about a pleasant feeling.
- Scene at the bridge where Nathan toasts for Stingo's unfinished work is proof for how a good choice on location,camera,music and conversation can create magic on screen.
- Meryl Streep's transformation, pain and ironic guilt at her Auschwitz camp send a shock down your spine.
