| The Grandmother of all Three Hankie Movies! | |

The plot is improbable at best, but the performances............. Ronald Colman and Greer Garson are beyond engaging. You're immediately involved in their lives and couldn't stop watching if you tried.
There is no modern day movie to touch it. Since finding this movie, I've acquired all the movies I could find with either of these two actors. You might be interested in the 1935 version of "A Tale of Two Cities" starring Ronald Colman.

A beautiful old weepie with an unlikely plot, but the ending always moves me to tears.
The proposal scene between the two main characters is the sweetest on film in my opinion. Ronald Coleman and Greer Garson are a dream together.
Greer Garson was on a roll in 1942. After this she went on to make 'Mrs Miniver' and win an Oscar. This put her in two of the most succesful and best remembered films of that year.
Imagine how important escapism like this was in those grim, horrific war years.
Buy it in for the next rainy weekend. My copy plays fine on my region 2 machine as well as my multi region.

My favourite all time film. An excellent film and heart-warming story. It makes me cry every time I watch it. I recently found out that it was my Gran's favourite film too. Apparently, my mum remembers her being so moved by it that she recommended it to her after seeing it at the cinema when it first came out!

If you haven't seen this film, I would advise you not to read Derek Stiles review before you do. Though unsurprisingly he certainly enjoys it, I am really sorry he has told the story in his review because this is a MAGNIFICENT film which bears seeing again and again - but the first time is absolutely unforgettable because of the surprise (and deeply sad) turn the film takes. I first saw it by chance as a young wife, it was the only film during which I ever saw my husband shed a tear - and my children too absolutely love it, even though it's in black and white! I think it was re-made in today's vein of film, it could lose a lot of its simple charm.

The 1940's was THE decade for romantic movies and this is arguably the best. Two great stars at the top of their form and flawless direction from Mervyn Le Roy. If you don't weep at this you are a hard hearted cynic.
