<em>'Francis'</em> is exactly what you'd expect it to be.
It isn't something I'd consider worthy of a watch due to many things, with one being the repetitive nature of the story. It's a poor flick, lacking in interest, from 1950; showing all the signs of a film from that era too, distastefully.

Incredibly, it's the first of seven films from this series. One down and all that...
