I loved this movie. I saw it once on TV in 1972, and never forgot it. It is a very moving love story, with the exceptional acting of Oskar Werner. It is my favorite movie of his, and he is my favorite actor. He was totally believable as an attractive orchestra conductor, married, in love with a young English girl. The story, the acting, the photography, and the music are wonderful. This movie has not been released officially on video or DVD. I would love to own a DVD of it. I recommend this movie highly. Oskar Werner seems to be playing himself! We are used to seeing Oskar Werner in character parts in American movies. I would love to collect his German movies, but cannot find them. I am a student of German and particularly enjoy hearing Oskar reading German poetry on records, now available on CD's. I am enjoying in particular hearing an interview he gave just before his death (heart attack) in 1984. Oskar Werner was mainly known as a stage actor, and each of his movies is a gem. I have read that his efforts to have his own theater in Salzburg did not work out due to his problems. He was both melancholy and exuberant. As a student of German, and a lover of Vienna, Oskar's home town, I am enthralled with all of his work. This simple movie "Interlude" is my absolute favorite of all of his movies, and highly recommend it. It will show a sexy side to this man which we never see in his other movies, in a very moving love scene. Cheers to Oskar Werner! I miss you, Oskar!
