Well Worth Seeing

There is nothing so disappointing as getting a movie version of a novel you like only to find out the story has been changed substantially and the cinematic version is horrid. I am a new fan of Ackerley. I am pleased to say the movie follows the novel and it was a delight to see it come to life in the screen version. Everyone in the cast is outstanding and the plot moves along quickly so the viewer is never bored. I would not hesitate to recommend this movie to anyone who admires J.R. Ackerley. I even enjoyed the fact that the look and feel of the movie seem dated which helped transport me back pretty close to the time it was supposed to happen.

A wretched one-dog show

Despite Alan Bates' undeniably personal affiliation to the part of Frank Meadows, and director Colin Cregg's desire to tell a perceptive story about the difficulties of life as a homosexual in post-war Britain, We Think the World of You is a greatly unsatisfactory film which turns into little more than a whining version of Lassie with a gay twist if you like. Much of the blame is Cregg's, who angles his story badly, with too much seen from the point of view of Frank, and he also goes for an easygoing, semi-humorous tone which is perplexing at best, downright annoying at worst, and certainly never funny. There's a lot of potential in both these characters, and especially Gary Oldman's Johnny is underdeveloped, but we're not really given any reason to sympathize with any of them, and in the end, it all becomes a wretched one-dog show.
