How war can affect people's lives
30 April 2023
I do like an old British film to watch & I'd never seen this one, Anna Neagle & Micheal Wilding star & apparently a short glimpse of Roger Moore though I missed it.

Such a great topic, this has been used before & since (Move Over Darling) & it must have really happened during a war somewhere at sometime.

A partner is believed lost & then turns up sometime later after the other has moved on with their life.

Two people meet during an air raid in London & like so many, they married almost immediately, as life could be so short in those dark days.

War then separated them for a couple of years, as one was believed to have been lost & the one still living a 'normal' life, moves on with theirs.

I really enjoyed it though some bits were needlessly prolonged, the beginning especially with their courtship before marrying & then it was rushed at the end.

Without giving too much away, it would have been good to see more depth to their reaction on their reunion.

And can someone tell me, did some peolpe actually live like that? Out for lavish dinners, drinking champagne & generally not being affected by the deprivation & terror of nightly bombings & rationing?
