A provocative film, no doubts. About an impressive collection of love letters, discovered after 74 years after Gordon Bowsher write them to Gilbert Bradley.
Indeed , gay love story, surviving against all shadows of prudence, fears, legislation or prejudices.
But the virtue of Andy Vallentine is to propose to audience, in fair manner, this special story.
A story about the summer of 1940 and the first words, on a ship, under the fly of airplanes , between two guys. One reads. The other flirts.
It is , in same measure, a profound impressive story about peace, in some crumbs, in time of war. And, in so many senses, a film about courage. And intensity of true love.
So, maybe, just a gem.
