Audience Member good rom-dram saw with 'st. martin's lane" Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member first american film 4 french actress annabella technicolor romp first british feature film in technicolor. 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
