I'll Turn to You

Oh my, given that servicemen had lost a proportion of their careers to war then this film is hugely disappointing in attempting to illustrate that point.

The quality of the film has pronounced noise and film distortion and you have to wonder if restored why they bothered?

The film is almost a parody of itself, insofar that this is full of the stiff upper lip and wooden acting of white empire, yet is meant to be post-war? How so?

The script is poor and over sentimental. It is set somewhere between middle and upper class yet the airman is using RP in Civie St - yet is trying to act the part of a lower ranker.

The women are dreadful Irene handle must wonder how she had a career after this one! The film ends abruptly and perfectly when the airman realises how silly he is! Bless.

As for the Edwardian orchestra - this film is stuck in some sort of time warp - completely ignoring the near -revolt of the men and women that returned home to find that spills were flourishing and that Churchill still wanted the little people to be obedient. This film doubt had a point but it is lost somewhere. I hope never to watch this again in my life time.

Dreadful.
