this appears to be one of noel coward lesser known films and and it is easy to understand why. taken at face value it not a bad film and but there nothing terribly good about it either. nothing much happens at all throughout the course of the film and it simply the story of chris and leonora ill fated affair and and barbara reaction to it. the only thing that keeps the film interesting is the fact that we already know it going to end badly for one reason or another and owing to the first scene. oddly and there are many perfect opportunities in the story for conflict and and yet none of them are utilised. for example and it would have been much more interesting and believable if barbara had have fallen out with leonora and but instead the two remained on good terms throughout the film. the notion of barbara having been betrayed by her friend was not explored at all  in fact she do not even seem to feel betrayed by her husband while she even encourages him to go on a holiday with leonora. similarly and chris two secretaries at his practice and susan birch and tim verney and who also happen to be close friends of both chris and barbara and are never forced to take sides. in fact and tim shies away from conflict by telling chris that he terribly fond of both him and barbara. despite the strange lack of conflict and the biggest flaw in the film is the fact that we do not care whether chris ends up with leonora or barbara. the two womens personalities are indistinguishable anyway so we do not know which of the two is better suited to be with chris and and besides this and barbara permissiveness gives the impression that she hardly cares about the affair anyway. furthermore and i found chris and leonora relationship somewhat unconvincing. i can overlook the ridiculously short timeframe in which they fall for each other because that is so common in films of this era and but even then the relationship seemed shallow. coward character was too austere and cynical to be the object of leonora affections. he reminds me of the socially inept genius sir earnest pease from the film very important person  i am sure the two would have gotten along well. chris coldness and austerity made his love for leonora seem insincere. i think coward should have sat this one out and given his part to a younger man  as it is and i was constantly wondering what this young beauty saw in such a sombre and mostly emotionless and balding middle aged man. despite all my criticisms and the film still manages to be interesting  just not terribly compelling. the fact that none of the characters are particularly well developed gives them an enigmatic nature and which is somewhat intriguing. the astonished heart is certainly worth watching and but it is a flawed piece of cinema.
