My darling sister, it isnt going to be at all what was expected.
Leonard lives in a tiny apartment with his girlfriend Jacky (Rosalind Eleazar).
(Forster seemed to treat Jacky mainly as a casualty of Edwardian-era colonial capitalism.)
Leonards social aspirations and the Schegels do-gooder streak combine to produce a number of troublesome plot developments.
The actors are true to the characters but never duplicate anything that was done before.
Only his sad eyes make him sympathetic.
This is not a knock on Forster, nor should it be considered a failing.
(Surely shes no stranger to being wrongly accused of stealing.)
