Probably the best British film ever made.
Eric Portman and Sheila Sim are superb.
This is an image of England long gone. A time when the farms and villages were owned by farmers and countrymen, not car commuters.
Pressburger and Powel had a real message to give in this film - to protect rural England and all it's beauty. Tragically few listened!
What a great shame these superb films are seldom shown on TV so others can see them and that a different world once existed!

This music is so lovely. I wish it was possible to get the whole soundtrack on CD.

The scenes of rural life - horses, carts, faces - are amazing. And this is really not so long ago, is it. Very different from our usual images of the 1940's

A comment' Probably the best film ever made' is wrong.
It is the best film ever made.There will never be a better one made.

the cinema photography is amazing. The composition, framing, angles were vanguard moments in movie making. Hillier as the photographer and Seabourne as editor are up there with the very best in movie making. Some of the concepts used are still in use today. The movie is timeless.

those were the days when you could sit down on a deserted field with a complete stranger and remain unharmed, would that we could say the same today....

@felixklingerpomphrey I Can't help about uploading, but I can tell you that the house is The Old Rectory in the village of Wickhambreaux, Kent. It was sold not long ago for around £1,6000,000.

Canterbury Cathedral is still there and it looks the same today. No need to be so triste about it.
Thank you very much for posting this. My favourite film of all, and my favourite scene too. Could you also post the slide show scene with Eric Portman's monologue? Thanks again

Merci à tous pour vos commentaires. Je viens d'ajouter un troisième extrait concernant la conférence d'Eric Portman.
