I remember seeing this movie on Channel 11, the local PBS television station in Chicago, in the 1960's. I was a high school student at the time. Today I found myself remembering this one. I have just purchased the DVD from the John Korty website.
As I recall, this is a a modern day fable of a disillusioned man and a woman full of delusions. Burgess Meridith does a wonderful job narrating the film, which is some ways comes off as a silent film with narration.
It is a simple story: A contrast between those who try to live without delusion and those who seek fantasy. It is also a story about how this man changed and fell in love with this women who he thought was so silly. It left me such a lasting impression, I am certain that I am correct about the essentials. I also remember the endearing music, with violins (almost like "Fractured Fairy Tales" on "Rocky and Bullwinkle".)
When I get the DVD, let's see if I got things right after 44 years.
