This film is quite a classic, also a childhood memory from the very first time I saw it. I'm not too eager with the remake on Netflix. Since I really don't like "mOdErNiZiNg" classics. But I will try to give the remake a chance...

Filmer om omaka kärlekspar är knappast en nymodighet, men historien om missgynnade John-John och priviligierade Elisabeth blev på 90-talet en braksuccé.
