Notes
I did not get around to updating my catalog entry for Morning is Broken until several days had elapsed since my viewing· It is not a good sign when one can not recall what a movie just seen is about· It is also interesting to note that various reviewers in their précis tell different stories· The cinematography is excellent; the English countryside settings beautiful; the story mundane.
