2.0*/5.0*

Not what I expected, but that's because my knowledge of Irish history just isn't good enough. This isn't a movie about "Bloody Sunday", couldn't have been since it was released one year before these events. Instead, it's a drama about a menage a trois and homosexuality. Oh well.

Bob is a charming guy, who likes both men and women. He is in a relationship with one of each, and while his parents are aware of the setup, they aren't that keen on sharing Bob with the other. Both are unwilling to go against him though, fearing they might lose him if they limit his freedom.

The performances are decent and the story is quite easygoing, especially for a film that is more than half a century old. The direction is pretty bland though and the drama isn't all that notable by modern standards. It didn't bore me, but I don't think I'll remember much of it in a week or so.
