Bosley Crowther New York Times 10/13/2007
A story which the book reviewers warned us was disappointing and dull, as originally told by James Hilton in his So Well Remembered, has been miraculously transmuted into an affecting and fascinating tale in the film of the same title. Go to Full Review Virginia Graham The Spectator 12/14/2015

s r @ScottR 06/27/2017 A wholesome English political drama running the course of a politician fighting for people rather than for himself. See more 04/01/2010 What a wonderful production, a lot of attention to detail. Martha Scott is quite good in a role rather unusual for her. John Mills is excellent and is convincing in his portrayal. It is such a different movie, so beautifully told. I never once lost interest, the plot and characters are so impressively developed. The story has unexpected twists the peak your interest.
