A Christmas Carol Lost in the Past
29 December 2022
'The Great Mr. Nobody' is a very complex (yet absorbing) movie, related to the pulse of the times in 1941, with the USA about intervening in the war of Europe.

As so, it presents the -almost counterculture- sufferings of 'Dreamy', the very humble and failing clerk of the advertisement department in 'The Daily Express' newspaper, in a big town with a port.

Dreamy has for family: a loyal girlfriend (one of his coworkers), a mad-for-sailing old friend living with him, and a little pal with some physical disability (who sells papers on the street).

Dreamy of course cares for all of them, while being such a 'sentimental fool' to jump into action, to likewise intervene into any conflictive scene, he chances upon on the street.

Between the lines, 'The Great Mr. Nobody' stirs all kinds of social and political feelings, until rounding up as another historical geniality from Hollywood.
