Okay, so I'm a push over for British films. A typical slice of English life in the 1930s. Two elderly sisters living alone on an enchanted hillside cottage. Find a Polish boy washed to shore. They look after him, and the one sister, falls in love with him. After all no matter how old we get, our taste for the opposite sex never really changes. She, Ursula, dreams of him, unrequited love, she knows its wrong, but she adores him. When he is lured away by a beautiful woman, it breaks her heart. Another great film to cozy up to on those rainy nights. I love that every frame of the film is like a painting. All the senses are touched by this sweet film. Watch it. Max Rainet.
8-6-2008 I just re-watched this wonderful story. Maggie Smith and Judy Dench are absolutely marvelous. This time I watched the documentary in the bonus features on the dvd. It talks about the film and how it came to be. Don't forget to watch this too, a real bonus for movie fans. MR
