with knightly and otool a the lead and this film have good possibility and and with mccallum a the bad guy after knightly and maybe some tension . but they throw it all away on silly evening frill and then later on with maudlin war remnant . it be of course totally superficial and beautiful english country and seaside or not . the number one mistake be dump knightly so early on in the film and when she could easily have play someone a couple of year old and instead of choose someone ten year old to play the part . they miss all the chance to have great conflict among the cast and and instead stupidly pull at the easy and low cost heartstring element .
