Customer Reviews

Bittersweet is the word that sums this lovely film up in one!

Unrequited love, hope and broken dreams all around for the three young characters in this wonderful film set in London between the two wars.

The waiter, the barmaid and the prostitute all tell their side of a very cleverly entwined story.

Sad and beautiful-heartbreaking and sweet, romantic yet so disturbing.

A film about life and how brittle circumstances can be as to wich direction a young life can take!

A must see-fantastic acting and the set is great too!

I bought this DVD based on the reviews I read on Amazon. I was not disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed the series which I had not seen before. I'm not sure if it has been shown here. I thought the characters were very believable and depicted true to the time the series was set in i.e. the Thirties. Ifelt sorry for Bob for the way Jenny used him , but also sorry for Jenny as she too was a victim of the time she lived in. Ella was not strong enough to tell Bob how she felt so lost out as well. The series was well written and left you wanting to know what happened. You really needed to sit and watch all three episodes at the one time. If you like period drama I would thoroughly recommend this one.
