Action, consequence & regret

“An atmospheric and thoughtful adaptation of an acclaimed play. Guy Hamilton made some good calls to make this work even though he had the immense advantage of being able to vividly portray flashbacks rather than only have them described by cast members. Great performances from the main cast and a solid turn by Alastair Sim.

This is not merely a story about actions having consequences. Nor is it only also about what can happen when those consequences multiply up to a large cumulative effect. It's also a gentle lesson about how small kindnesses can often have disproportionately positive offsets against large measures of selfishness, spite and jealousy.

It's a great story with a fine twist. Recommended for all ages.” read more
