Surprisingly good movie
2 May 2016
Ran across it by accident. Excellent performances, great plot, learned some historical stuff to boot. Great old drama with a tissue needed now and then but more dramatic and captivating than depressing. Good for a rainy night. Nice to see one of the first performances by Leslie Howard's son Ronald, who went on to do a TV series of Sherlock Holmes. There is some great medical background to be learned in this movie, as well as the conditions in hospitals in the early Twentieth Century. Some great lines about WWI also, and some heartwarming parts that make it endearing. It is a story of two brothers whose familial relationship - trials and tribulations - are the same as many through the centuries.
