The early days of World War II. Scrappy tomboy Louise Bradshaw (a fine performance by Bridget Fonda) lives in the shadow of her more popular and beautiful fraternal twin sister Caroline (a nicely haughty portrayal by Jenny Robertson). Can Louise overcome her burning jealous feelings about Caroline in order to find her true self before it's too late?
Director Victoria Hochberg relates the absorbing story at a steady pace, maintains a sincere serious tone throughout, keeps the sentiment to a pleasing minimum, and offers a flavorsome evocation of the 1940's period setting. The sound acting from the capable cast helps a lot: John Kellog as the kindly Captain Wallace, Evan Mirand as the amiable Call, and Mary Fogarty as the feisty Grandma Bradshaw. A sweet and touching little film.
