A Bit Better than Expected

Warning: Spoilers
"Every Time We Say Goodbye" is one of those movies you never hear of but are surprised to see a famous actor in (Tom Hanks in this case) on the DVD case. The movie seems a bit dated in it's premise but has some charm to it. Locations are well shot and settings and supporting characters are interesting enough. (spoiler) I liked how Hanks meets the Marsillach character at the sort of engagement dance as well as the events that lead him to having dinner with her family. The on-camera chemistry is modest though blown out with a better depiction of the families' ire for their daughter and the extreme sort of discipline that follows - probably believable for a 1940s era reaction. Tom Hanks here in an earlier part of his career does a fair job more quiet and understated. In a quote from him, he said this movie disappeared, and I suppose it's true, but perhaps it's disappearance is harsh as it has some good moments.
