synopsis
Two men who had been partners 20 years earlier reunite and rekindle old animosities in this routine, low-budget drama by director David Drury, made for the "First Love" British TV series but also released theatrically. James (James Aubrey), a teacher, and Father Michael (Nicholas Gecks) meet again long after their upbeat musical partnership ended and are overjoyed at seeing each other -- though that is short-lived. Personality differences emerge rather quickly, especially after James starts a sexual liaison with the mother of a little boy who adores Father Michael. Flashbacks to the 1950s help to illustrate the background of the two men in conflict.
