The Toronto Film Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to the study and enjoyment of film and movies.
Okay this is one of the best movies I have yet to see at the T.F.S. I must say. It stars Rita Hayworth, Burt Lancaster and David Niven in a drama around a group of broken people living in a Hotel in England. Each of the characters has a serious fault or faults as the case may be.. and all are seeking refuge in what they think is an anonymous hotel where no one will see. The hotel owner cares for her lodgers and makes them feel safe. What the characters don't realize at first is that they aren't alone in their brokenness.. that although they are strangers sitting at separate tables... they have become closer than family. Personally I liked how all the stories played out... coming together at the end for a satisfying ending. The acting was extremely strong... with each of the characters seeming to be fully developed. For instance one of the characters a timid and brow beaten women was played excellently by Deborah Kerr. (5.0/6.0)
