Have to say, the Finney's crying scene is the superior of the two. The juxtaposition between the crowd cheering at the cricket match vs the single lonely man in the shadow of a tree trunk.... pure genius. The rest of the film is not so good to be honest. Please upload the original.
thank you for uploading this, but I sure wish you would upload the rest of the film. The only version widely available is the Finney version. It really is more cinematic like someone said. The colors are so rich and vivid in that version. But I hate it for its falseness. The master that wears jeans, the boom box in the shower scene with rap music. It is such an adulteration of something which in its own self is beautiful and true. Finney alone lifted the film from the gutter.
particularly for this scene, i like the finney version over this one. the figgis film is more cinematic than the theatrical style of the 1951 version. films convey emotions and move the story visually over words.
@franckylime Today I heard the BBC Radio 4 play 'version' with Michael York playing "The Crock". Absolutely marvellous, as most BBC radio plays are. I've never seen any of the film versions and now, having heard the radio version, I feel no need to. Thank you once again BBC for a top class production.
this is good though. but, i prefer the Finney version.. when finney cry, i feel like his heart is torn apart. and i guess my heart too, just to see him cry lolol..
Of Asquith's 1951 masterpiece it might be said that, "It pleased not the multitude; t'was caviare to the general."
I'm disappointed (but not altogether surprised, given the general debasement of our culture in the last 40 or so years) that "renzyrenzyrenzy"'s remark has received two thumbs up. He/she is indeed "a fool" and manifestly does "lack culture".
@JekyllBoote fine, thanks for the "compliment". in fact, i already watched the Origin, but i like the remake one. about the comment that i wrote 7 months ago, it is MY opinion
Restraint, power, reserve, elegant minimal acting of devastating power. Modern acting seldom comes near it.

They just can't make films like this anymore.

The Finney version, superior? You, sir, are a fool! Not to mention you lack any sense of culture!

The Redgrave performance is vastly superior, unless you prefer schmaltz.
Asquith's 1951 film is a masterpiece; the 1990s remake is not.
