Roland Culver, in his supporting role as Lord Desham, provides a substantial backup for the elderly ‘Jodie’ who meets him rather abrasively during WW2 days but later relates to him the personal tragedy in her youth. He has the presence of mind and determination to see that old wrongs are set aright — all of which leads to one of the most beautiful endings to a film anyone could wish for.
It’s a film that poignantly reflects the war years when so many lives were uprooted, hopes dashed, yet carried on with courage. I wish they made more films like this one, it’s a gem.
