If you find yourself sleepless at 3 am and you've got an hour and fifteen minutes to kill with Turner Classic Movies, you can do worse than this charming romance that, while mostly predictable, takes you places and keeps up a good pace.
"Parole Girl" comes with a competent cast, pre Hays' era sexuality, and a time capsule visit to 1930's America. I counted at least six improbable plot devices, but, oh--who cares? Bellamy was believable. And I fell in love with the intelligent, cunning Mae Clark.
What guy, sleepless at 3 am wouldn't hope to find himself in Bellamy's predicament with a woman as alluring and devious as Mae Clark's character?

I was interested in the concept of this film and so I watched it despite the 1.5 star cable TV rating it got. I was immediately drawn into the predicament of the characters and loved the ending.
In terms of form, the effects, the sets, and the filming were believable and good. The acting has been much criticized, but I find that in real life, real people aren't such good actors. This film's acting had a documentary feel about it and is definitely worth watching.
The quiet pace of this film establishes a mood that reinforces the lonely exile facing the characters. It doesn't quite live up to the eerie feel of Kubrick's 2001, but it comes close.
The basic idea of this film--people facing death in space exploration, is a noble one, and the ending gives a payoff worthy of this film's purpose.
I note that this little film from Spain has earned a lot of viewer comment, both positive and negative, much of it passionate. I find that interesting. However, I was disappointed with many of the negative reviews. I think they missed the point of this film.

The Guardsman is now one of my 10 favorite films. Thanks to Turner Classic Movies audiences can continue to see the brilliant performances of Lunt and Fontanne in this hilarious play made into a film. The performances of the support cast are excellent, especially that of Roland Young.
The Guardsman does what a good comedy should do. It should make us laugh, give us insights into the human condition, and keep us wondering what will happen next to characters that we care about.
I laughed out loud and watched the unpredictable plot move through scenes of witty, fast paced dialog that led to an ending that lived up to everything that preceded it. If you carefully watch Fontanne in the ending, you will be certain of the meaning of her character's smile.
