Vastly under-rated masterpiece


Why this film only score a 7.4 rating is beyond me. This should be Fred Zinnerman's signature film (Though "High Noon" and "From here to Eternity" are great too). Audrey Hepburn gave a fantastic performance here. Is it because the religious themes turns audiences off? Audiences are not used to watching Audrey in a full drama?
