Herz ohne Hoffnung (1958)
25KHerz ohne Hoffnung: Directed by Lewis Allen. With Lana Turner, Barry Sullivan, Glynis Johns, Sean Connery. An American war correspondent falls in love with a BBC reporter, but their relationship seems doomed from the start.
“Sean Connery and Lana Turner are journalists who fall in love, in this enjoyable war time melodrama. Connery plays Mark Trevors, a radio reporter for the BBC and Turner plays Sara Scott, posted in London working for an American newspaper. Their relationship, which is never fully developed, has a sting in the tail. The second half of the story takes place in Cornwall, and although filmed in black and white, the scenery is still alluring. Turner, who gets most of the screen time, gives a decent performance and Connery, who at the time was relatively unknown, demonstrates the charisma which makes him a potent screen presence.”
