CGiii Comment
Considering when and where this was made, it has to be admired and applauded.
Yes...it is a little theatrical...but, that adds to its undeniable charm, as bitter-sweet as it is.
For those of a certain age, this will resonate deeply. Memories will flood back...of lovers and allies. And, to those who still have spring in their step and a twinkle on their eye...please, watch and think about how we all got to where we are now.
The working-class gentility will bring a tear or two...even to the younger eye.
Watch...
The(ir) Blurb...
Set in 1944. The house is being use as a store-room by the US Army. Jean, the Caretaker, has other uses for the basement...
