Happily, I did watch one very good film last night, though it’s hard to think who I might recommend this to. Joining the likes of To Be or Not to Be, The Last Metro, and hell, even Mrs Henderson Presents, it is clear that I like my war films best as framed within the theatrical world. Plenty of light comedy, dance numbers, and sensitivity (stopping just short of sentimentality), I actually love this sort of thing, against my better judgment.

 Lauren, 25, out-of-work librarian. At the moment, TLC is but a review blog and catalogue of my film-related perversions. I always plan to do more with it — and to one day step outside 30s Hollywood again. Who knows?
