Owen N Aug 22 "Give me my scallop shell of quiet, My staff of faith to walk upon, My scrip of joy, immortal diet, My bottle of salvation, My gown of glory, hope’s true gage, And thus I’ll take my pilgrimage." See more David S 11/30/2024 Of course I love this film! Love, ok- Love, Love, Love, Love - is the key word finding it's way into the conversation - and the power of its meaning.... See more Bill B 04/06/2024 Dated, but pleasant fantasy about an RAF pilot in WWII who shouldn't have survived the war, and now must fight to stay among the living with his newfound American sweetheart. Interesting examination of the complicated relationship between Britain and the United States. See more Alec B 02/20/2024 As with all of the Powell and Pressburger films from this era it feels wildly ahead of what anyone else was making at the time. A gorgeous spectacle that is undeniably moving (especially during the opening and final scenes). See more IAN c B 02/12/2024 Absoluetly heart wrenching movie that brings tears and smiles to your face. My late partner and i loved this movie and watched it several times over the years See more Bob W 09/22/2023 One of the best from the most underrated of classic-era filmmakers, Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. A funny and moving fantasy (or is it?) with some serious points to make and a little bit of a peak inside WW II-era politics. Specifically, it was made partly to ease tensions between the UK and US publics and may have helped pave the way for "the special relationship" that still plays a role, for better and for worse, in international relations. But did I say it's a glorious romance in beautiful Technicolor and gorgeous black and white! Check it out. See more Read all reviews
