- [on "Charlie Bubbles", 1968]: Alas, the film ends with Charlie floating off in a balloon. I'm not quite clear in retrospect whether he's dreaming about it or doing it, but the scene immediately follows another where we feel that there may be some small possibility of a reconciliation with his wife. The film just throws everything up into the air with the balloon, which is as mannered as anything Terence Rattigan ever did in the way of dramatic contrivance, and doubly disappointing seeing that Miss Delaney and Mr. Finney had brought us so far.
