The film itself is enjoyable; however, the video quality of this particular transfer (Essential Art House, released by Janus Films -- sister company of Criterion) leaves much to be desired. This is certainly watchable, but the blacks are muddy, detail is lacking, and there is just that overall "late-night rerun" look about the whole thing that tends to turn the uninitiated away from older films.

Delightful movie about class in England near the start of Alec Guinness' career.

As a long-time admirer of British film, I continue to think this stagy melodrama far from the high standards normally associated with a Guinness film. The two-fold problem is a weak, corny, and predictable script and some major overacting by people who seem to think they in a theater rather than on film.

Dare I say it? This is just a sweet, sweet movie. Alec Guinness' character is reminiscent of Peter Sellers' Chance the gardener in Being There, as well as Forrest Gump, in that he is many different things to many different people. But he is by no means an idiot or a dimwit. He is simply a quiet man who mistakenly is given just a short time to live, and who wants to have a wonderful time in the short time he has left. Thank God my Mom brought me up dragging me kicking & screaming to Alec Guinness ... Read More

I have yet to see the DVD of this splendid Guinness film, but it is most certainly one of his very best. I do happen to have it on VHS and am thrilled it will soon be available on DVD. My only hope is that the transfer has been remastered and will be worthy of this exceptional film. If you are a Guinness fan, or a fan of intellignet, older British films, then don't miss this one.
