just a few words

I don't give it two stars because I don't think it's bad, but I think it's mediocre for a subject and story that could have been extremely impressive. It's not that there is no flash point, it was originally aimed at the cooperation of two talented actresses, but there was indeed a spark - especially the farewell scene in the last scene. However, there are a few bright spots, by no means enough to elevate a mediocre film to a position of excellence or even fairness.

The relationship between the four has not changed its nature from the beginning to the end, so it is not a confusing route. Or this kind of inability to change is the most tangled.

The performance has not lost its level. The screenwriter did not treat the audience as a teenager just because it was a star drama. The strong art director Mr. Raggett makes the film look good visually. And until the end, it can make people in a daze thinking back to this part of history -- a bunch of fashionable relationships, true or false. All of this is not enough to make up for the mistakes of mediocrity that could have been avoided.

  • Dylan Thomas: Where's our son?

    Caitlin MacNamara: Chopped up in little bids and packed with my knickers in the suitcase.

    Dylan Thomas: Oh, dear, the police'll be chasing you.

  • Vera Phillips: I don't melt at the sight of a uniform, that's all. Sod it. I don't like nosy parkers.

    Caitlin MacNamara: It was a civil question. I could have said, "Are you after my husband?" But I didn't.

    Vera Phillips: Heartache, that's what I see in a uniform. I'm not gonna love someone just to have them die off on me.
