Total hit tonight fir Michael Grandage’s “My Policeman,” the second Harry Styles movie of the season styles fans mobbed the street in front of the princess of Wales theater as if Harry were the Beatles or Frank Sinatra.

Styles acquits himself well in this taut drama of a married gay cop in Britain in 1957 who is also gay. It’s as if Merchant Ivory made a Harold Pinter movie. I’ll have a longer review later but for now Amazon Studios has a success.

And yes, the crowd inside loved the movie as much as the fans outside.
