A film of it's time, but still enjoyable..!
11 January 2021
I watched this on Talking Pictures. The quality itself was good for the age and indeed better than a lot of later B&W films. The story was interesting and kept me engaged.... as I mentioned in the title, this is a film of it's time and a viewer will, I am sure, enjoy it more by reminding themselves of that.... I think one detail that highlights that is the length of time that we are given, as viewers, to read the notes written by the characters, the reason I assume was that the makers wanted to ensure that what was written was understood and possibly with the lack of reading skills of the audience, who, at that time most had left school at 12 years old to work. So education was limited to the average person. If you enjoy old British movies from the 30's, 40's and 50's, I am sure you will enjoy the film overall... as I did..
