The Last Time I Saw Paris 1955

Elizabeth Taylor
Eva Gabor
Donna Reed

If you want to cry tonight watch "The Last Time I Saw Paris" This is a tragic story, but a real story. One that might even speak to you personally. For some unfortunately literally for others only in a parabolic way.

The honesty of emotion; the love of life and recklessness, the love of money, and the loss of everything brings these characters absolutely to their knees. Only for some, it is too late to change.

I am reminded of the Nephites in 3 Nephi in The Book of Mormon. When they forgot God, they lost EVERYTHING. When they sought him again, old things were restored but tragedy does leave scars.

I love the portrayal of these human failings in this movie. It was a moving experience to watch it.
