      steve d Not much to recommend besides a really early Hepburn Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Hepburn in an Ealing Production! Granted she has a small part, but we get to see her dance and smile early in her career. To be honest, I didn't recognize her in the first several minutes. What is the personal cost for revenge or patriotism? What if you are convinced that they are one and the same? What should you do if you learn these two concepts are not the same, but merely intertwined by manipulation? A good script, with quality performances both in front of and behind the screen. Well worth seeing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Love eachother, or perish... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Tense and forawrd thinking examination of direct action and the damage it can cause. Interesting departure for Audry Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
