A dear old friend
Never mind that Alec Guinness plays a Japanese businessman. He does so well, you forget after awhile that he doesn't look Japanese.This film, which came out in the very early 60's I think, is based on a play by Leonard Spiegelgass. Some of the dialog by the daughter and son-in-law comes across as dated and stilted, but the performances by Guinness and Russell eclipse everything else, bringing to life a lovely story that reminds us that youth, despite its "modernity," isn't wiser or smarter than experience and minds that are willing to change and grow.I'm so glad this film has finally been put on DVD.
