A friend of mine showed me this film today. I guess they had nothing better to do with their lives (Nor did I). The film is about a really, freakishly pale kid who gets kicked out of the Royal Naval Academy for stealing a postal order (Whatever that is). He, of course, maintains his innocence of the matter (He totally did it, I don't care what the movie says). His father decides to make a big legal battle about it, even recruiting super slick (hot) lawyer, Bob (He has another name, but Bob works much better). Bob argues the case in front of the house, holding up useful government proceedings. Thanks to intimidation and bribery, he manages to get the boy acquitted of his crime; and it looks like Bob and Pale Kid's feminist sister might just have a future together (But probably not).
I was very impressed by several things in the film, such as the fact that despite the sister being rather plain and being super involved in feminist activities at a time when that was rather frowned upon, three different guys are totally into her, with two of them proposing in the course of the film. I also loved how the film had no clear time line, making it extremely difficult to figure out how long this whole thing was taking. I additionally appreciated how the solicitor is in love with the sister but it factors into nothing and is just kind of odd.
As you could tell from my review, I thought the film was alright. It has its faults to be sure, but really it is a nice little drama. I give it a 6/10.
