What they share

Theysit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Little Children, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Some Came Running is

An ex-novelist drifts back to his hometown post-WWII, annoying his upwardly mobile brother. He complicates his life by befriending a cheerful cardsharp and waffling between two women. The result is a regionally flavored hangover with better clothes.
