    Quite why this film has been overlooked since it came out in 1989 is beyond me.

    I've never seen it on television, and I don't think it's ever been released on dvd.

    A beautifully crafted tale from Jon Amiel.

    A genuinely wonderful heartwarming film, the likes of which you don't get very often

    If you manage to get the chance, it's a must see.
