Love on the Dole (1941)
If you’re looking to watch a very young Deborah Kerr movie, or if you like movies about how life is terrible in English slums, look no further than Love on the Dole. If your motivation is something other than the abovementioned factors, you might want to pick out something else for tonight’s entertainment.
As is the setting for many of these types of English dramas, the main family is incredibly poor during the Great Depression. As the children grow up, they dream about getting married and starting families of their own, but when the patriarch and son lose their jobs, money is tight and fantasies are replaced by realities. How will they make ends meet, and what will Deborah Kerr, the teenaged daughter, do to help them?
It’s a pretty depressing story, but that’s to be expected, given the setup. Deborah Kerr is given a complex character to show off her acting chops in one of her first major roles, but I can’t really recommend watching this one unless you love her more than life itself and want to watch every single one of her movies. Watch I See a Dark Stranger for a young Deborah Kerr role in a movie that isn’t nearly as depressing.
