CodyZamboni Z @CodyZamboni 12/07/2024 Short, compelling story, Lovers Olivier and Leigh reunite, but fate and bad luck ruin their happiness. As Olivier soon ends up killing Leigh's ex in self defense, and they dump the body. Guilt makes him want to give himself up. Olivier's barrister brother tries to help him cover it up. Oliver and Leigh decide to party for 21 days till trial verdict of innocent man is announced. Nice parallel story of the couple making the most of their potentially final days together, with the trial itself, which doesn't go as planned, Nice seeing very young Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier, One of their few screen pairings together. See more Steve D 01/12/2024 Not much here besides the cast. See more 07/01/2015 Passable, but forgettable. It's not particularly gripping, but worth it if you want to see a young Laurence Olivier in action. See more 02/18/2015 An OK film, with an interesting concept. What the hell was up with Leigh, though? See more 11/16/2014 One of the only films with both Leigh and Olivier. Lots of chemistry and very cute. I love the Oliviers' and this film is nice, but I would definitely not call it the best film for Vivien or Laurence. See more 04/14/2013 A very minor film by British studio director Basil Dean most notable for its pairing of acting couple powerhouse Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier, who do their best with the weak script they're given. There's a good short film in here somewhere, but even at its modest runtime of about seventy-five minutes this movie moves along at a glacial pace. It's main issue is that it begins as dramatically as it ever reaches, and so after the initial shock of the murder and Olivier's implication in it, there is never any real gripping drama left in the story. Dean's directorial style is pretty good if very restrained, and after awhile the lack of visual energy combined with the story's stalls stop the film almost completely. Disappointingly, this script was written by Graham Greene, who is usually quite good at penning these kinds of murder mysteries. Even Leigh's typically crackling acting isn't enough to save this one from sinking. See more Read all reviews
