Notes: British wartime drama that focused on the experience of women on the homefront received a minor number of screenings, mostly for Spring in Park Lane (for an all-female powered British double feature). Ranked towards the bottom of most metrics but the handful of Saturdays kept its EF PPE to poor, rather than wretched.
