This film sounds great.

I really liked it, I'd never heard of it before TCM ran it last week, and I still think the only thing really wrong with it is that it couldn't afford another thousand feet of film. It has the obvious budget of a phone call. I am beginning to feel very defensive on behalf of Jeffrey Lynn's postwar career, i.e., he should have had a lot more of one.

I love your line about Sam himself being a Chekhov's gun.

Thank you!
