The music score composed by John Williams ( Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T.) is an emotionally felt and sonically rich one. It makes the storytelling more effective throughout. The costumes certainly feel believable for the characters and the setting. Aldredge ( Ghostbusters, Moonstruck) also add much to the overall production. The photography is certainly impressive and adds to the film's success.
This film maintains the sense of a beautiful, brisk day and the warmth of the outdoors. The film is naturally beautiful with good lighting, color, and photography.
The cinematography by Donald McAlpine ( Moulin Rouge!, Romeo and Juliet) impresses as well. The film feels authentic and a huge part of this is because of his quality efforts. The production design by Joel Schiller ( The Muppet Movie, Lenny) is impressive with good locations and design work. The romantic subplot between Stanley and Iris is also a sentimental and deeply human aspect bringing the film to greater emotional heights. This social drama is a moving and heartfelt exploration of an issue rarely tackled in cinema. Director Ritt makes the film a great love letter to education and the significance of it in one's life. The film becomes an exploration of a man burdened by his illiteracy and it's affects on him while exploring the possibilities and the importance of education to one's life and happiness. Initially scared of rejection by Iris, Stanley nonetheless reaches out to her as a friend with the simple request: "Teach me to read." She struggles with her family life but doesn't understand the pain Stanley feels from his illiteracy. Iris King (Jane Fonda) is a smart, independent woman with a teenage daughter.
