Moccasin light drama - Spotswood review by JD
It feels initially like a 1950's black and white English film. The acting is a bit like St. Trinian's and the plot about a factory where every one is jolly and not working very hard. Some of the Moccasin slipper references reinforce the archaic atmosphere. The plot is pretty basic: Hopkins is sent in to improve and is a bad guy at first but he becomes a good guy in the end. Why is it not a 2 star? Well it just has a little bit more to it than the old moralistic slap stick 60's stuff. May be just a bit more believable.
