******A possible Spoiler for the movie The Sixth Sense follows at the end of this review as well as a possible spoiler for this movie******
I give this film an 8 out of 10 based on my original TV viewing of this movie. The spoiler on the DVD packaging would probably have it only rate a 5.
I had first seen this movie on TV and found it to be a delightful little movie - I've been a Katherine Hepburn fan for decades. It dealt well with the prejudices of different groups in western society and had a lot going for it. It was about a wonderful romance between two senior citizens. However what was for me a delightful surprise when the wedding finally took place was completely spoiled by the photo of Katherine in her sari on the cover of the DVD case! It completely diluted the wonderful surprise of the wedding they created for themselves when neither of their religions would agree to marry them. When I saw it on TV I had no warning or even any idea about what they would do and how they would do it but when my husband and I watched it together a few years later, the photo on the packaging had completely removed all the surprise of the wedding for my husband since he was the one who had purchased the DVD and seen the cover photo. Talk about a spoiler! It was like telling the punch line first and then telling the joke.
Or for the movie The Sixth Sense to have on the DVD cover, information that gives away the surprise twist ending of the movie.
I'm really angry at them for spoiling the delightful ending of this film. The cover photo was really harmful to what should have been a surprise ending of this film.
