A Great Film!, 29 July 2000
9/10

Again a fine performance from Alec Guiness! This would have to be one of my favourite Guiness movies as well as of all time. Guiness really does shine through in his very charming portrayal of this most ambitious young character. A good film with clever performances all round from the cast. Though the character of Nellie really bugged me. I mean it was great that he ended up with her in the end but I didn't think she really should have been there at all. There wasn't enough for her to do anyway...
