Reviews for Pete 'N' Tillie
The mixture of happiness and grief, laughter and sobs, reality and farce makes this an admirable attempt at great filmmaking.
This is the wittiest, warmest and most ingratiating movie to appear in a long time, with a beautifully sustained and muted edge of sadness.
Director Ritt keeps the gags coming, but it is the two leads' chemistry that makes the film work.
