fantastic (2008-01-17)

brilliant british drama surrounding a family post war, with a great use of colour and with a great director to match, what could be better!!!

A Must For All Collectors (2003-05-14)

This is a great film with first class acting and a gripping story. If you love british films then you will love this film. Shot in South Clapham, London 1944 during WWII this film will delight you with its charm and warmth of a era lost to us all.

If you go looking you can even find the street and house used for this film, took me only two days of research to find the location, which is unchanged to this day except for a few cars.

Great film GET IT. Its a shame that Carlton have deleted it from their DVD list, where is the justice in that, come on Carlton, release this title on DVD and do British Cinema the justice it deserves.

A life and trials of a family in London during WWII (2000-10-18)

A very heart renfering story of two families in the suburbs of London living their lives throughout the war years. Coping with the every day to day comings and goings of normal life, trying not to let the war change them. To coin the phrases 'Life must go on' 'Everything as usuall'. Excellent acting from all the stars. A must for all WWII film buffs.

One of the most pleasurable films that I have seen (2000-06-17)

I came across this film by accident one day but what a find! I am so pleased that it has now been released in DVD as it is a great favorite of mine. A wonderful story, by Noel Coward, of family life between the two World Wars. Of men returning to civillian life and the family they left behind. Celia Johnson plays a very good mother and a young John Mills plays the "boy next door". Happy times and sad ones - get your hankies out! A "must" film for any family. Try the Cruel Sea or Dambusters as well.
