I would say I was more interested than entertained. Director David Lean co-adapted Noël Coward's play, and I can actually see this working better onstage, where it wouldn't feel so odd to have scenes with characters referred to as being nearby. (Including the neighbor lady we never meet, although we see her husband and son.) Still, this domestic drama, set in 1919 to '39, is more my kind of movie than The Bridge Over the River Kwai or Lawrence of Arabia.
