Full Plot Details

Londoners Arnold and Evelyn Boult had high hopes for their son Edward's life; his relatively-short life was one of privilege and irresponsibility. It ended at 23 when he was killed in battle in World War II. Arnold recounts pivotal moments in his son's life, such as a serious medical issue at 5, near-expulsion from a prestigious private school at 12, and impregnating a girl he had no intention of marrying at 20--and the extreme measures Arnold took to protect his son's name. But other things Arnold did throughout Edward's life, like having an extramarital affair, show that he acted more for his own happiness and standing in the community, which eventually included being dubbed a Lord. His actions have dire consequences for many, including Evelyn, who begins to hate her husband and sadly admits that she never really understood or knew her son. But after Edward's death, old family friend Dr. Larry Woodhope does his small part to ensure that Arnold's family legacy cannot continue.

Movie Reviews

New Yorker - 7/10 by Richard BrodyThe movie silently shrieks under the pressure of constant, hectic fear.
User Review - 6/10 by John BYick. A man goes to the ends of the earth to get his son what he needs in life..including criminal ends and the son knocks someone up and offs himself. Sheesh. Nothing like a good family film.
