      s r A wholesome English political drama running the course of a politician fighting for people rather than for himself. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member What a wonderful production, a lot of attention to detail. Martha Scott is quite good in a role rather unusual for her. John Mills is excellent and is convincing in his portrayal. It is such a different movie, so beautifully told. I never once lost interest, the plot and characters are so impressively developed. The story has unexpected twists the peak your interest. Excellent. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member 83/100. What a wonderful production, a lot of attention to detail.

      Bosley Crowther New York Times A story which the book reviewers warned us was disappointing and dull, as originally told by James Hilton in his So Well Remembered, has been miraculously transmuted into an affecting and fascinating tale in the film of the same title. Oct 13, 2007 Full Review Virginia Graham The Spectator Although I may be the last critic to pen it, I would like to record that I, too, thought of saying that So Well Remembered will be So Easily Forgotten, that I, too, have my moments of lightning wit in the bath. Dec 14, 2015 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A British drama that's hardly remembered anymore for good reason: it's humdrum.
