There’s a scene in the first Captain America movie that homages the first scene in this film. David Niven is a pilot who manages to contact a radio officer on the ground. He knows the plane is going to crash and is certain he will die. In the few minutes they have they manage to fall in love. It’s absurd and it works- just like the rest of this movie. Is it a war romance? A medical drama? A study of religion? A courtroom drama? An argument about American and British sensibilities?
Yes it is.
Is it about a crazed fan of a talk show? Nope, but somehow that’s the movie poster I copied.
