The story takes place in the lonely Beauregard Hotel in Bournemoth which is going to be closed. While Mrs Railton-Bell is searching for her daughter Siby, she receives the shocking news that Sibyl is in love with Major Pollock, a doddering man. After trying to stop their relationship, Mrs Railton-Bell soon realizes that Major is not what he appears to be.
Terence Rattigan's old-fashioned melodrama is well-acted by the entire ensemble. Surprisingly, it was nominated for Best Picture and garnered Oscars for David Nivel as a Major with fake identity and Wendy Hiller as the reserved hotel manager.
A touching and absorbing movie that (thankfully) doesn't wrap everything up with a big, dumb, happy ending.
