    • Quotes

      Frederick Larbaud: Why are you lying on the ground?

      Agnes Larbaud: I'm being a scarecrow.

      Frederick Larbaud: You will make yourself filthy.

      Agnes Larbaud: But they eat all the seeds. It would keep them from the vegetables.

      Frederick Larbaud: What would?

      Agnes Larbaud: The scarecrow.

      Frederick Larbaud: I don't know what you're talking about.

      Agnes Larbaud: I'm going to make a scarecrow.

      Frederick Larbaud: With what?

      Agnes Larbaud: Your black suit. Your old one. The one in the attic.

      Frederick Larbaud: I don't want you to touch that suit.

      Agnes Larbaud: But why?

      Frederick Larbaud: You know why.

      Agnes Larbaud: Please, I want it! I want it! Why can't I have the suit? It's no good to you. Please let me have it. Why can't I have it? I'll take it. If you won't give it to me, I'll take it. Do you hear me? I must have it!

      Frederick Larbaud: Stop it! Stop it! Or I'll have you put away. Do you understand?

    Love on Many Levels
    Rapture is a difficult film to explain. Many people will describe it in terms of themes, but those who have seen it can tell that there are many different themes. The story concerns a girl named Agnes (Patricia Gozzi) who acts slightly insane because of her difficulty to grow from a child into an adult. She lives with her distant father (Melvyn Douglas) and housekeeper Karen (Gunnel Lindblom) who do little to understand her. Agnes spends her time playing in the surf whistling with the sea gulls and taking care of her dolls. She desperately wants something of her own so she makes a scarecrow and cares for it like a child. Soon, an escaped criminal named Joseph (Dean Stockwell) comes and dons the scarecrow's clothes, causing Agnes to imagine that her creation has come to life. She convinces the family to take Joseph into their home and quickly becomes enamored with him.

    The move stars slowly but gets progressively better. Each character is complex and interesting, namely Agnes and Joseph. Their relationship is intriguing if not a bit disturbing. Physically, they are both very beautiful people. Gozzi is gorgeous despite wearing no makeup and acting like a child; she is reminiscent of Ingrid Bergman. Stockwell also looks like a composite of two classic stars: James Dean and Montgomery Clift.
