He was crying because despite a good script and his good performance, he had a detective's hunch that the movie would not make it big.
With triplets?
I didn't feel swindled, but after he drove Milner and his wife to the hospital, I expected some sort of a backstory — a traumatic event perhaps — for his reluctance to drive. I have a friend who doesn't drive anymore because of a terrible accident he had 20 years ago.
Perhaps Foyle's always racing mind didn't work well when driving.
If you consider this dark, then I'm afraid most of the British dramas are not for you.
Hmm.. interesting and makes sense. It was obviously intentional to not have him kill anyone, to garner audiences' sympathy for the character
I used Blackberry phones as dedicated work devices with Android phones as personal smartphones for many years. Like you, I almost exclusively used Blackberry for calls and emails; paired with that tactile physical keyboard, the emailing experience was terrific.
Yeah, I owned a few models of Blackberry 7 and 10 phones as dedicated work devices. I only gave up on Blackberry when I had no choice. Loved the physical keyboard and the email app in particular.
It bothered me too. An early 1950s teenager initiating a blowjob, especially during the first sexual encounter, is far-fetched.
<blockquote>She was pregnant with big Dave's kid. I guess she couldn't live with herself and confessing that to Ed...</blockquote>
This is the most likely reason because the Medical Examiner reveals her pregnancy to Ed (and the audience) after her death.
<blockquote>...where he is from, is both food and weather overall really much better?</blockquote>
Maybe, maybe not. But the point is that bad food and bad weather are common mocking points for the UK.

He forgot to add "warm beer"
Absolutely! No, contest here
That movie was a treat!
No poisoning either
Fantastic answer! 👍🏻
While I don't think the ending was necessarily dumb, I also felt it was deliberately written to be more politically correct in 80s-era Germany and ensure that the movie was better accepted by the audience of WWII Allied countries. If the Third Reich submariners had lived on in the end, I doubt Hollywood would have bestowed the movie with six Oscar nominations.
Me neither. Without SFX, most of his movies are fluff
I wasn't aware; which is the other one?
If you value cinematography, mood and period settings — or if you are a fan of the gothic genre — in movies, it's definitely worth watching. The film's overall atmosphere added value to me more than the plot or storyline. The atmosphere is similar to Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow but not as phantasmagoric. It's also a leisurely-paced movie.
I liked it (7/10) for its 'pretty veneer' more than the story or pacing. The gothic setting and atmosphere were mesmerizing. The look of the characters also added to the film, particularly the gaunt face and peculiar features — or the 'aesthetics' as Poe's character describes it — of Edgar Allen Poe. Take away the cinematography and mood, and it's a mediocre movie.
