David Parkinson Radio Times For all the lyricism of Douglas Slocombe's imagery, director Charles Crichton grounds everything so effectively that when the call comes to fight, it really means something. Rated: 3/5 Aug 27, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Alan M A time capsule of a unique British way of life for over two hundred years when narrow boats moved goods around the country via a network of canals. The film's narrator describes the impact of the Industrial Revolution and steam trains on the demise of the once hard but family oriented way of life with the end of the narrow boats only a few decades away. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
