Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Light drama notable only for being the first british picture in Technicolor and having a very young Henry Fonda in it's cast. Otherwise the script is trite and the other actors are unmemorable. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
