Long Ago, Tomorrow (1971)

sensitive film descends to maudlin cliché

[5/10 · 18 November 2017]

Yes this film is quite sensitive towards disabled people as they were in 1971.However the film cannot resist the maudlin clichés which come with the territory.Mystery illnesses,strict matron and unsympathetic vicar.The ending barely avoids bathos.I also think that the two leads just don't seem to be a likely couple.Bernard Lee seems very merry in his bit part.
