Two old gentlemen reminisce the year 1939, the time just before World War II.Anne Keyes realizes she can't trust her own family.Glorious 39 (2009) is a conspiracy thriller directed and written by Stephen Poliakoff.The cast is very nice.Romola Garai plays Anne Keyes, also known as Glorious.Bill Nighy portrays her father Sir Alexander.Jenny Agutter is her mother Maud.Julie Christie is Aunt Elizabeth.Eddie Redmayne is brother Ralph.Juno Temple is the younger sister Celia.David Tennant plays Hector.Charlie Cox plays Lawrence, Anne's lover.Jeremy Northam is Joseph Balcombe.It's a real thrill to see Christopher Lee (b. 1922) playing older Walter Page.The late Corin Redgrave plays Oliver Page.Muriel Pavlow is Old Anne.I guess this one goes to the category OK.It doesn't quite live up to expectations.It's only slightly thrilling, but not as much as it should be.But it's not a total waste of time to watch this movie.
