A Day to Remember (1953)

Directed by Ralph Thomas

Overview

Based on The Hand and the Flower, a novel by Jerrard Tickell, A Day to Remember stars Stanley Holloway as Charley Porter, captain of London darts team. When the team travels to the French town of Boulogne for the annual darts tournament, a good time is had by all—and more besides. Jim Carver one of the team’s members, is reunited with a little French girl he’d befriended during the war, who has now developed into a beautiful young woman. And Fred Collins makes a poignant journey to the hotel where he’d honeymooned with his late wife. The film works best as a low-key comedy-drama; it is least successful when it ventures into O. Henry territory and strains for “surprise” story twists. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
