Great theatrical cinema with Hobson, Redgrave in fine form
by adrianovasconcelos2025-01-18
8/10

"Compton Bennett deserves a high perched niche in British cinema for his clearly above average direction of films such as THE YEARS BETWEEN, SO LITTLE TIME, THE DESPERATE MOMENT. A theatrical play by Daphne du Maurier provides the basis for YEARS BETWEEN. As tends to be the note with du Maurier, female and male characters interact rather realistically, in this instance a couple (Hobson and Redgrave) separated early on in WWII when the hubby goes to war and within a week is declared deceased by the Home Office. Of course, he is alive and returns to reclaim his wife and also his position as MP....."
