      Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A tepid British drama set in the world of the London theater. Rated: B- Oct 18, 2018 Full Review MFB Critics Monthly Film Bulletin The film is interesting but full of disappointments. It starts as brisk light-comedy but quickly falls into the most commonplace emotionalism. Feb 7, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

      Tom M Miriam Hopkins is brilliant once again (I've watch a dozen of her movies during COVID isolation!). I find it disappointing that her name is rarely listed among the greats of the 30's and 40's. She could really act and when she was funny, she was hilarious (see 'She Loves Me Not' and 'Fast And Loose' among others). Good story, quite funny to begin with but drifts into some serious drama by the end. Harrison's part is minor. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/20 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
