Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A smart story that was better suited for the stage than for cinema. Rated: C+ Sep 2, 2022 Full Review Graham Greene The Spectator The brilliant acting of Mr. Hay Petrie as a decayed and outcast curate cannot conquer the overpowering flavour of cooked ham.

CodyZamboni Z 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/07/24 Full Review Steve D Not much here besides the cast. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/24 Full Review Frances H Far from Leigh and Olivier's best! The character development in the script was poor. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/27/20 Full Review Audience Member Passable, but forgettable. It's not particularly gripping, but worth it if you want to see a young Laurence Olivier in action. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member An OK film, with an interesting concept. What the hell was up with Leigh, though? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
