Henry D @Henry_Domke Mar 6 Classic. A tear jerker. It was familiar, but everything worked and it was totally satisfying. See more Isaiah Y @zayman2 Feb 21 Good Morning William Wyler film with Greer Garson’s greatest performance See more Christian K @ckacar Jan 21 Couldn't engage with this at all. A dull portrayal of life in the London suburbs during the war. The only credit I can give is it kills the character you least expect.

I wanted to click "Want to see', but with the inexplicable changes RT has made i find that button impossibly unobvious. Cuz I want to see it again... cuz I forget if i ever saw it. Cast: Dame May Witty, love that name, born in 1865. & GREER Garson... never heard of another female, or anyone, 1st name greer.

It cannot be put into a box of "romance", "war movie", "comedy", "tragedy", "thriller", "heart-warmer", but is a mixture of all! See more David F @dfulmer 03/12/2023 This movie about a family facing the trials and tribulations of the early years of WWII in England shows the joys of family life, a favourite topic of MGM. It starts out with trifles like a wife being embarrassed to let her husband know how much money she spent on a hat and then segues into children going off to war and Nazi airmen parachuting into the back garden. While it's a bit lengthy at times for modern tastes, I think, it's full of gems like the bunker scene where the two parents, their two children, and the family cat, Napoleon, take shelter while a huge, violent bombing raid unfolds above them. Explosions and gunfire on the soundtrack gradually lead to jolts and shaking in their sandbagged shelter. It's a masterful combination of sound design, acting, and pacing and completely suspenseful and terrifying. It's also a metaphor for the whole movie and the way it subtly and gradually shifts from trifles and superficialities to life and death situations almost without the spectator noticing. It's the kind of film that makes an impact on you without doing so overly overtly. See more Read all reviews
