Feb 25, 2019 I love this film and the music in it, l lwould love to read the novel.
Draco L Nov 7, 2018 Watched on the Talking Pics channel. Overall a disappointing film. Eric Portman is an old school stiff upper lip actor, which nowadays cones across as somewhat wooden. Nice little cameo from Wilfred Hyde White. See more
