Another Time, Another Place (1958)
Country: GB
Technical: bw/VistaVision 98m
Director: Lewis Allen
Cast: Lana Turner, Barry Sullivan, Glynis Johns, Sean Connery, Terence Longdon
Synopsis:
An American journalist has an affair with a BBC reporter during the latter days of the war in Europe, even though she is engaged and he is married. When he is killed, prostrate with grief she goes to visit his house in Cornwall, befriending his widow and young son.
Review:
Preposterously soapy wallow in anguish, like some Douglas Sirk melodrama except it's too mealy-mouthed. It doesn't feel like wartime, and we just don't believe this all-consuming passion is real: Connery is there with these ridiculously bushy eyebrows and teddy-boy cut, and Turner smokes endless cigarettes and gets up to walk restlessly around the room in her tight girdle and hairdo. Glynis Johns steals the acting honours but is betrayed by an absurd last-minute reconciliation at the station platform.
