Though its title suggests an abbreviated biography of its subject, Carol Reed’s The Young Mr. Pitt pretty much covers the entire career of England’s youngest-ever Prime Minister. The movie suggests that William Pitt the Younger sacrificed his health, his wealth, and his greatest love in leading his country through one of the most trying periods in its history, but as the screenwriters rather shrug away his sacrifices as they occur, the importance of the things Pitt gave up for his country must be left up to the viewer to decide, a rather curious if refreshing decision made by the writers and ace director Carol Reed that make this biographical film unique if nothing else.
