imagine me say that a van johnson and deborah kerr film be awful . it true folk . this be one miserable film . in war ravage england the two of them begin an affair only for ms. kerr to end it in thanks to the lord when maurice ( johnson ) survive a bombing . the two of them engage in absolute endless talk . the film fall into a discussion regard the lord and all other kind of philosophy . kerr give an emotionally restrained performance in her usual sing song diction . a sarah in this film and there be no great chemical reaction between her and maurice . a her suffering husband and an english civil servant and peter cushing be adequate but the dialogue be ridiculous . john mill be real dead pan a an investigator . when a husband hire a detective to investigate a cheating wife and that can be believe . when a former lover do this and you have to wonder . be wonder if van johnson be use this film a a pre test to the much good miracle in the rain which occur the following year . two death come during rainstorm be more than quite incidental .
