Based on Somerset Maugham's novel, the film is quite compelling with good performances especially from Power, Baxter and Marshall. Gene Tierney plays her role in the style of the day which dates the film. A long but involving film that stands up reasonably well today.

It Ain't Hay 1943
Enjoyably funny Abbott & Costello movie based on a Damon Runyon story. Some memorable sequences with the boys, a host of colourful character actors and some great musical sequences make this one to recommend.

I Miss You 2019
This true story is mostly well-done but the decision to weave bits of the play it was based on into the action comes across as stilted and pretentious and reduces the power of the story. The father seems to be too easily able to change a lifetime of homophobia, making it idealistic rather than realistic. Its heart is in the right place, though. Good performance by Oscar Martinez as the father. Other performances are uneven.
