Damaged Goods
65Worth an evening.
An adult lecture says he must not marry until he is well, and children stay out.
The review
Keep children out. Damaged Goods is an adult syphilis lecture from a play, a pamphlet that happens to move. Richard Bennett is the man told he must not marry until he is well. The marriage is the danger. I am not listing symptoms, and a family night is the wrong room.
I watched it the way you read a notice, not the way you follow a romance. Conscience, if it works, is a delay: no vow while he is sick. There is no softer plot under that. Adults who want the warning can take it. Anyone hoping for a love story will be annoyed, and they should be. It was made to hold a wedding off, not to decorate one.

The glance
Industry is the thin one.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
October Sky
76 instead of 65
October Sky is still a drama film, and it scores 76 instead of 65. What you gain is industry: The rockets are practice, scrap, and more practice.
