Comment
George Orwell's novel is brought to the big screen. An advertising copywriter gets a poem published and leaves his steady job to write full time, to the despair of his girl friend, who wants to live the middle class lifestyle. This is a period drama that fails to keep the attention, despite the good pedigree of the book.
