Audience Member A truly endearing journey of two elderly, erudite men, each of whom have come to question their opposite faiths (communism and capitalism). There are some slow moments but the acting is superb from both Alec Guinness and Leo McKern. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
