An excellent portrait of post WWII real life behind the walls of respectability. the 1950s are typically remembered as idylic and tipifying "Family Values," but the human family was still flawed to the point of heartbreak and marring it's children. The generations pass it on. the "redemptive powers of love and understanding" pomised by the dust cover, came too late and not enough for me. Kit and Lewis quickly declare their love and each take off on their separate journeys alone, without family or any true healing from their tramas. I suspect their brokenness will follow them and rear its ugly head many times in the future.
