...novelist R. F. Delderfield. It is long enough (half a million words) to last a careful reader from now till the Fourth of July, and it is so transparently simple that neither its ideas nor ambiguities will startle anyone.

Seems he has been dubbed as well as drubbed, and any nuances that his gravelly, one-of-a-kind voice might have lent to the performance are effectively erased. With only one ace in the whole, the distributors of Dunkirk might have...
