Count Your Blessings (1959)

In the throes of WWII London, Grace Allingham, the privileged daughter of notable politician Sir Conrad Allingham, finds herself irresistibly drawn to a visiting French Marquis, Charles Edouard de Valhubert. Despite her prior engagement to a British officer and her initial impression of him as arrogant, Grace succumbs to Charles' charm, leading to a hasty marriage after a whirlwind courtship of mere days. Their marital bliss is abruptly cut short on the third day of their honeymoon when Charles is summoned for active duty, leaving behind a lasting memento of their fleeting time together - a son affectionately named Siggy, short for Sigismond. The war drags on, keeping Charles away even after its end, leaving Grace and little Siggy alone for nearly nine years. When he finally returns from his military obligations, the couple is eager to rekindle the romance where their honeymoon abruptly ended. However, their reunion is not as seamless as they'd hoped. The passage of time has reshaped their circumstances and a now grown-up Siggy, accustomed to having his mother's undivided attention, adds to the complexity. Moreover, the couple's cultural differences, previously overlooked in their hasty union, now cast a long shadow over their relationship. Charles' roguish charm that once captivated Grace now manifests in philandering ways, with his liaison with the beautiful Albertine vexing Grace the most. Their marriage teeters on the verge of collapse, leading to a strained divorce and a shared custody battle for Siggy, who harbours a secret desire against his parents' reunion. Despite the odds, deep within their hearts, Grace and Charles yearn for their lost love. But, they must confront and overcome an unseen obstacle lurking in their path, threatening to shatter their hopes of reconciliation. In the intricate dance of love, war, and cultural clashes, will their hearts find the rhythm once again? The story of 'Count Your Blessings' unravels this captivating tale of love tested by time and circumstance.
