Good story. Terribly miscast
Story centers on 3 British vets believed dead returning from the war.
The mother of one of them tries to get a reward on her sons best friend.
The story coming about near the end of WWI has a lot of the actors terribly miscast.
Although the weepy and somewhat dense Beryl Mercer is tolerable in small doses the added vitriol and greed of her character in this particular movie is at times unbearable.
Arlen playing a returning vet at age 39 is somewhat believable if you really stretch it, but the actor playing Mercers son is almost as old as her.
A couple of regulars like Grieg and Digges make this movie some what watchable but not much..
