Robert Donat and Deborah Kerr playing together .Nuff said.Even if the movie were abysmal ,it would be worth a look.
But abysmal it is not;it's good,nay splendid.At the beginning of the movie ,none of the principals is attractive: Robert looks like an old maid (his wife dixit) ,his nine-to-five world in an office made his life a humdrum life.Catherine never makes up (when Glynis Johns advises her to put lipsticks ,whe is confused: "my husband would not like me to");when Robert shows her photograph to his military pals,they are polite when they say she is discreet,reserved.
Both join the navy ,and WW2 turns two ugly ducklings into two beautiful swans :Robert looks great in his uniform and Catherine has learned to show herself off to advantage.But they find strangers in their place.
London has to be rebuilt and they have to rebuild their life.
