The Way to the stars 1945

Starring: John Mills

World War 11 as seen by the guests at a small hotel near an airfield.

Not a whole lot of plot but somehow, absolutely charming. Very dated for obvious reasons but the despair & resignation to tragedy is brilliantly portrayed.    7/10

the Pumpkin eater 1964

Starring: Anne Bancroft

A compulsive mother of eight children finds her third marriage rocking when she gets evidence of her husband's affairs.

Dull & dreary. Good soundtrack though.        2/10

Bang the drum slowly 1973

Starring: Michael Moriarty

A baseball star finds that he is dying of leukemia.

Occasionally this hits home but generally is too single paced and talkative. I found my attention waning and found that the tragedy kind of passed me by.     2/10
