A smart story that was better suited for the stage than for cinema. Go to Full Review

The brilliant acting of Mr. Hay Petrie as a decayed and outcast curate cannot conquer the overpowering flavour of cooked ham. Go to Full Review

CodyZamboni Z 12/07/2024 Short, compelling story, Lovers Olivier and Leigh reunite, but fate and bad luck ruin their happiness. As Olivier soon ends up killing Leigh's ex in self defense, and they dump the body. Guilt makes him want to give himself up. Olivier's barrister brother tries to help him cover it up. Oliver and Leigh decide to party for 21 days till trial verdict of innocent man is announced. Nice parallel story of the couple making the most of their potentially final days together, with the trial itself, which doesn't go as planned, Nice seeing very young Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier, One of their few screen pairings together. See more Steve D 01/12/2024 Not much here besides the cast. See more Frances H 08/27/2020 Far from Leigh and Olivier's best! The character development in the script was poor. See more 07/01/2015 Passable, but forgettable. It's not particularly gripping, but worth it if you want to see a young Laurence Olivier in action. See more 02/18/2015 An OK film, with an interesting concept. What the hell was up with Leigh, though? See more 11/16/2014 One of the only films with both Leigh and Olivier. Lots of chemistry and very cute. I love the Oliviers' and this film is nice, but I would definitely not call it the best film for Vivien or Laurence. See more Read all reviews
