A GOOD WOMAN (Release Date: Dec. 2)
October 20, 2005
Almost immediately we know it's a romantic drama. It's something about the moody instrumental music and stunning sunset vistas of the Italian Riviera in the 1930s, I think. But what strikes me about this trailer is not Scarlett "Lips" Johansson's flawless beauty nor Helen Hunt's somewhat unnerving voice, it's not even the soft-focus cinematography. What grabs my attention is the dialogue. You get such pearls as, "I like people more than principles. People without principles, even better" and "Women don't trust women. Men don't trust women. No one trusts women" as well as my favorite, "Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future." (SC)
