Sorry, this movie sucks

The first must-see film of the year.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This is a type of film that was popular in the forties and fifties.It centres around a marriage bureau and the people who belong to it.David Tomlinson,a journalist is assigned to write a story about it.So he goes undercover and joins the bureau.It is no surprise that he finds romance.The story featuring Guy Middleton is supposed to be slightly numerous.The problem is that none of the stories are very interesting.

I rated this 1949 film 6/10 as it was presumably rated a comedy and there were a few comic spots in it.The best was when Guy Middleton rushes down the stairs and trips up the lady to whom he is smitten and who has just emerged out of the lift of the marriage bureau.Yes marriage bureaux served the purpose of matching eligible ladies & gentlemen before the proliferation of internet dating sites and social media.Busy intelligent young people often join social clubs of like minded people so they can mix with their own kind.In Jane Austen's day dances & balls were one of the few events both sexes could meet & talk to each other socially without a chaperone.
