Reunion
At Fairborough (1985)(dvd) Available on all-region DVD
Synopsis: Over a quarter of a
century after they made Heaven Knows, Mr Allison, Robert Mitchum and Deborah
Kerr teamed up for the fourth time in this burnished tale of reunions and
revelations. Originally made for American television but also given a cinema
release, Herbert Wise's verbose melodrama centres on ex-GI Mitchum's return to
the village where he'd been based during the war to discover that he not only
fathered Kerr's child, but is also now a grandfather.
Red Buttons and
Barry Morse provide efficient support and Tony Imi's photography romanticises
the rural locations. But the key is the easy rapport of the
leads.
