lewis returns to the ww2 milieu of WHICH WAY TO THE FRONT?, and the result here is even more tonally scattershot, but also endlessly more fascinating. the sensitivity he showed for the faith and trust of children in the underrated THE FAMILY JEWELS is exploited and expanded to levels of bizarre, uncomfortable stabs at sentiment culminating in a final sequence harrowing and haunting for some of the right, and all of the wrong reasons. you won't forget you saw it.
