Jack P @RT94218286 Aug 20 What an overlooked gem. I found this sweet, old-fashioned film utterly endearing. Some great performances by stars early in their career such as Janet Leigh and Angela Lansbury. If you’re a fan of Mrs. Miniver, you’ll love this movie! Give it a shot. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 06/28/2017 If Winter Comes is a decent film. It is the small English town of Penny Green and events in Poland are about to change lives in 1939. Walter Pidgeon and Deborah Kerr give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Victor Saville did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama and romance. See more 03/10/2015 Great movie with interesting characters and excellent performances. Walter Pidgeon is really great in this role, a real stand-out. See more 09/29/2012 ok melodrama but seems dated See more 01/05/2012 Good cast, better than the melodramatic script deserves, all keep stiff upper lips through all kinds of goings on. Angela is one cold customer in this. See more 09/30/2010 just ok weepie drama See more Read all reviews
