On paper that might have made me scoff - Martine is such a sketch of the bad girl in need - but Hurt and Redmayne sold me on the notion. As for the yellow handkerchief of the title, I'd have dismissed it as a cheesy device if it weren't for the fact that I'm still cherishing the eloquence of Hurt's silent marvel when he finally sees it, fluttering across the gray Southern...
