Always November, that bitter-sweet month ...
10 May 1999
This odd 1960s film stars Anthony Newley and Sandy Dennis and is a perfect memory of a talented twosome. The story is fairly unusual - Charlie Blake, the uptight English manufacturer of boxes of the six-sided variety, meets Sara, a free spirit who lets apartments and collects and cures men with problems.

Sandy Dennis has the perfect nervy personality as Sara, while Newley has fun as Charlie, visiting Monty's Mod Emporium to buy horrible sweaters, writing poems, and falling for the girl. Light on story but high on sentiment, 'Sweet November' is a lovely piece of escapism.

Remade in the 1990s with Keanu Reeves, badly, this original version may look dated but is still well worth a look.
