What a curious little film, not sure how it got made but quite glad it did. It is a vehicle for Bill Nighy which got his Oscar nominated for Best Actor and it was a role seemingly written for him as a run of the mill 1950´s post-war council worker who gets an unexpected diagnosis and looks to ´live a little´.
Well acted costume drama which gives an interesting insight into a period of time about which little is written or made, just after a horrendous war and the austerity it brought, and just before the UK kicked off its shoes for the swinging sixties. A very peculiar moment in time brilliantly captured.
But probably not a film I´d want to watch again.
7/10
