Grew up in this era and have seen this film dozens of times over the years and although i'm a grown man now i still get a tear in my eye. Childhood innocence reflected brilliantly. The depiction of the times is also superb,that was really how we dressed !!! An English film to be very proud of. All my kids have seen it too and it affects them all in the same way. Just a wonderful film you never get tiredd of seeing.
4:10 when he's standing with his arms apart (symbol of Jesus Christ) is so touching. Such a heart warming ending. I LOVE this film to bits, and I love Jesus Christ.
The last time i saw this was probably 15-19 yrs ago, i remembered the title hard in hoping i never forget it so i can watch it again and now ive watch it all, i think its the best emotional movie ever.
Love the wellie boots, as a child I wore these as did most kids then no fashion statements then all kids dressed more or less the same, an innocent time but certainly a happy one. Classic British film.
Hayley Mills and the kids were his kinda Salvation/redemption, they made him give himself up. Theres that strong sense of faith running through this film. The children hav faith that the man is Jesus, and the man in-tern has faith at the end becus the children c him as sumthing gud. So that encourages him 2 do the right thing, I guess his faith from then on is that he more or less places himself in God's hands.
I love Hayley Mills and Alan Bates - and this film just gives me another reason to be proud to call myself a fan. Amazing film, wonderfully acted, filmed and directed.
I came across this picture from a random search and decided to see it and, boy, I was amply rewarded with a wonderful film about childhood innocence and faith. Kudos to Forbes and aces to aceshigh for sharing this.
Who stole the whole film......the late comers. My favourite film of all time.

The Music by Malcolm Arnold is pure Genius, one of the best Soundtracks that fits a film ever.

The ending is SOOO touching :(
When I saw this as a child I only understood that the kids had someone they liked and were in awe of, taken away. Suppose it's still true...

That 'crucifiction' scene gets me every time and then the two girls at the end...........
If they'd made this in colour it would've had much less atmosphere & impact - best film ever!
