Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Pepperz-1 I finally got my copy of this movie after waiting TEN years from Scooter and I have to say that I LOVED it! The quality of the DVD is excellent so I was able to focus entirely on the film.The BAD thing about it was Susannah York who overplayed and was overly dramatic and worst of all a BLONDE which violated the entire idea that the rest of the family was pink and brown but Joss and Willmouse were dark haired and exotic.HOWEVER, Jane Asher, who played Hester was exactly right in both her looks and delivery!In the movie there are only four children while Godden had five in her book but this is no way detracts from the movie. I would seriously recommend that you get this movie for any Godden lover because it kept my attention and I truly enjoyed it. The actor who played Eliot was exactly right, while he didn't match my mental idea of his LOOKS, his delivery was spot on!While I am normally never satisfied with movies from books, (hated the Maeve Binchy movies and wasn't thrilled with Angela Lansbury's Shell Seekers and yet LOVED the books!) I have to say that THIS one was an exception. IF I gave the book to someone I would definitely include the DVD as well along with a box of Belgian Chocolates and some really GOOD coffee!

ruthiej This film is a distant memory of Sunday afternoons in my teens when this film was still played in the UK. How can we get it released on video? The innocence of the girl falling in love with the thief, it was gripping. ten out of ten

Kitty Foyle All three stars are magnificent in this story of a young girl, guardian of her young siblings during a nearly idyllic Summer in France. Kenneth More is devastating as an aging jewel thief. Danielle Darrieux is even better. Romanticas and truth-seekers of all angels will love this film.

cabotcove More More is what I said after viewing his virtuoso performance, and Susannah York and Danielle Darrieux match him, exchange for exchange. Truer emotions were never shared on screen. This is an excellent directing effort by the underrated Gilbert, truly one of the all-time greats. The story never loses its originality or its delicate sense of balance. I have now seen this film four times, and each time I love it that much more.
