Young American Bobby Simpson pays a call on Madame Vareille, he returns ten years after he was billeted during World War Two, he's there to right a book about the Resistance. She explains her husband Hector had died two years ago, a bully of a man, overbearing and domineering, he had given his wife a dog's life, timing her on every chore and activity. Hector refuses to leave the house after a group of men had taken him away one night.
Admittedly it's a hard episode to love, it has the feel of an amateur dramatics production about it, the production values are rather poor, it looks massively like a set, Old Paris looks like a low budget production.
It is horribly filmed, it has such a cheap looking appearance, it's far from slick. The fades from black and white to colour look very amateur. I'd have to agree with the other review and say that the acting is pretty poor, it feels quite disjointed and clunky.
It feels like the series is becoming a little stale, not a lot of care had gone into this. Hard work watching this, 4/10
