Another Time, Another Place
Amazon. com Sean Connery appears only in the key scenes in the beginning of another time, another place, but his fourth film in the future James Bond was already a potential superstar. This US / British melodrama Connery introduced the American public in the elevated style: He plays precipitating World War II journalist Mark Trevor, first seen covering defusing unexploded German missiles in the British countryside. He is joined by her lover journalist Sara Scott (Lana Turner), who is still unaware that Trevor was a loving wife (Glynis Johns) and young son who has always openly devoted. When fate takes an unexpected turn, Sara visits the villages of Trevor Cornish, hoping to learn more about the man she loved. What he gives the film (based on a love story by Lenore Coffee) an extra boost of emotional suspense, but director Lewis Allen (known to block the tense thriller shot Frank Sinatra) has not really his heart in it. Turner was 10 years older than Connery (and it shows), and the film looks like a remnant of Douglas Sirk – perfectly comfortable as a standard melodrama of the 50s (and Paramount DVD looks and sounds terrible), but not as Polished or three credible Sirk classic handkerchief imitation of life, in which Turner starred in the following year. Think of this film as Turner warmup for Sirk, both occupy similar emotional territory, and make a supreme watery double function. Jeff Shannon -
