CGiii Comment
It takes over an hour before there is even a whiff of same-sex attraction...was it worth the wait? No.
Apart from it being painfully slow, the story doesn't make sense - further hindered by some lousy dialogue.
Scarred war hero - rejected by a slutty widow of death - falls for a wandering gay boy...
No surprises as to why this has been forgotten and as to why Bowser started and finished his film career with this...
No trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
When a physically and emotionally scarred soldier returns home from World War II, he mistakenly trusts a mysterious young drifter to deliver a secret love letter to his old sweetheart.
