| Like Laurence Harvey's protagonist (and his Yorkshire-by-way-of-Lithuania-and-South Africa accent), this film can't quite seem to make up its mind. Caught halfway between a melodrama and a Play For Today piece of kitchen-sink realism, it ends up not being much of either. Ostensibly a film about class and true love, neither subject is really given its due which is strange for a movie that feels a little long. Standouts are the beautiful photography by Freddie Francis, Simone Signoret's Oscar-winning performance as Alice and Donald Wolfit, excellent as the powerful industrialist Mr. Brown. |
