Absolutely lovely.A wonderful surprise,and an incredible treat.I live in a land that never was mine though I live with an excellent husband and have three grown children with their own families. Everyone is delightful,decent and loving. That being said ,the loss of my own national culture and all that contributed to it has from time to time caused my ungrateful self pain ,and is a daily personal deprivation. That film took my ancient self away to the place I lived in light years ago ,to the person I was then.
I love the British-a lift of an eyebrow expressing everything from boredom to an annoyed, impatient husband. Please hang on to your wit, sarcasm, intelligence, writers, comedians who give us a glimpse into this amazing culture. What a blessing the Brits have been to the world!! a
Couldn't agree more! Absolutely adore everything about the Brits. Have been lucky to marry an Englishman in 1965 and lived there for 40 years. Hopefully after these awful years since 2015, when invaded by the dinghy men, everything turns out well again. From Hungary.
I so agree. Having lived amongst them for 21 years I grew to love them with all my heart and learned so much about everything from them, especially how to laugh at myself.
@@joannajennings3899 As an American, I can say that no one makes movies like the Brits. Growing up watching old movies with my mother, she always said that and she was right. We loved our British movies. In California. 😁
@@tonisumblin2719 I was living in France and Switzerland in those days. I couldn't wait to get back to the UK during the holidays to simply sit with my Nana and soak up the films and war memories. A safe and beautiful space. X
What a wonderful movie! Albert Finney and Tom Courtney each did such a great job, I find myself thinking those parts were written just for them. Thanks so much for posting this well written gem of a film.
Thankyou, Scottie. Excellent film with excellent actors. I've been happily married for nearly thirty-eight years. My first wife, who I loved dearly, died of cancer in 1982. Shortly after, I was coming out of the bank and I saw her carrying her shopping bags walking towards me. Funny what losing a loved one can do to a person's mind.
My wife of thirty years takes a trip back to her home in Japan every few years. For the first few days after she leaves , I hear her calling to me from another area of the house. It is a bit disturbing in a way. Makes me feel like I am losing my marbles. But it happens every trip she takes.
This is a superb, understated, movie, unexpected, brilliant acting, a young and beautiful Joanne Lumley, plus Finney extraordinaire and whoever played Southgate. 5 stars! I only watched it because of the positive comments, we have some high-level critics on this channel. Thanks Scottie! (from France)
I always enjoy watching these period films. The characters reactions & how they interact with each other. It culminates in unexpected ways. Thank you Scottie Mclue.💙
I'm in tears with this beautiful gem of a movie. As a retired professional actress, I relished the subtlety of subliminal thoughts with these wonderful actors. The script was excellent - and it gave me a moment of joy thinking about how one friend is all we need..... God bless all.
How life can bring very unexpected endings..loyalty and friendship won out in such a way with Southgate and Reggie dancing their way into the sunset..so happy to have seen this movie…Albert Finney and Tom Courtney were wonderful..
When I lived in Yorkshire I heard it booming out at a Saturday night wedding dance in a Great Hall and I felt privileged as this is exactly how it would have sounded in WW2
Oh just bring on more of these...Albert Finney is just superb. He deserves an award for that performance. What fine acting. Lumly, Coutney just the best in their roles.What the heck do the Americans know...This is the real thing!!
When my best buddy died two years ago, the stroke care portion is what it was like the final year. So spot on. Helping a person out of a car, visiting. We've all been there with a loved one. RIP to all those we care about so deeply.
Thank you for this heartbreaking - heartwarming film, so well acted, that took me far away from our difficult political scene. I feel lucky to be with my husband after over 50 years, so different than Reggie in this movie!
An absolute GEM of a movie, with a matchless dream cast! Finney, Courtenay, Lumley- PERFECTION! And a story of such depth, pathos, tenderness, sweetness, courage. Just a LOVELY, LOVELY FILM! THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Lovely film. Thank you for uploading. Albert Finney and Tom Courtney worked so beautifully together just as they did in The Dresser. Just looked up. Hadn't realized that was in 1983. I'd say its time for another watch.
I really enjoyed the contrast of the characters, especially amenable Southgate who stood up to the lovable Rogue Reggie in his own calm way. Lovely film Thanks
The look on the Squadron Leader’s face and his response when Southgate says he’ll miss staying there and that they’ve been like a couple… “What? Have you gone off your rocker, Southgate?”
What an amazing film, poignant and moving. Wonderfully cast, Tom Courtenay one of my favourite actors of all time after seeing him in Brighton Rock. Thank you so much for posting this film and wishing you a very Happy New Year from Dorset :)
Wonderful! I love these types of British films. The Brits are the best at making them and it's such a pity that t.v isn't worth watching these days. I don't have one and don't miss it at all.
I haven't read any comment about the story itself. Great actors, indeed, but it isn't "a typical English marriage! It's a heartbreaking story of a man who never learnt to be loyal and true with others,nor to himself!
Thank you so much for adding this. I’m trying to watch anything with Albert Finney I can find. This was, as usual superb. Nice to see Georgina Hale who sadly died early this year RIP, fantastic character actress.
What a marvellously quaint, elegant and unforgettable little film. Everything about it is of high quality. I didn't love it, I ' lived ' it. I'll say it again.... nobody does better drama than the British. Thank you so much for sharing 😊😊
British actors are the best. Brilliant film showing human strengths and weaknesses
💯
Great acting and a moving story. So nice to see a real film with real acting.
What a treat to watch for someone who doesn't have and doesn't want a TV ! !
Thankyou.
A Pleasure 🙏 ☺️
Feel free to browse all the movies on the Channel

Absolutely. And it’s a shame that the BBC no longer produces anything worthy of owning a tv these days.
Agree!

Woke is fast destroying it.
“People make their own messes”. Sadly that’s true.
What giants, these three: it doesn’t get better than this. Real life, pure pathos, brilliant.
A wonderful film. We Brits are brilliant at making films which make you laugh at one moment and cry the next. This is one of them. A gem.
~ Aint that the truth!

Superbly told story driven by two of the best actors we’ve been privileged to experience.
How life can bring very unexpected endings..loyalty and friendship won out in such a way with Southgate and Reggie dancing their way into the sunset..so happy to have seen this movie…Albert Finney and Tom Courtney were wonderful..
I've seen this several times and you never tire to see it. Sad in places but great acting from both gentlemen
The Americans brought the Big Band Era to Europe during WW2. Nothing compares to Glen Miller et al. Brings tears. ❤
When I lived in Yorkshire I heard it booming out at a Saturday night wedding dance in a Great Hall and I felt privileged as this is exactly how it would have sounded in WW2
They certainly did, but shouldn’t we be commenting on the film.
Oh just bring on more of these...Albert Finney is just superb. He deserves an award for that performance. What fine acting. Lumly, Coutney just the best in their roles.What the heck do the Americans know...This is the real thing!!

I, too, was looking for comments about the story, and yours is the only one I have found so far. Thank you.
But the film does leave open the possibility that he may at last be learning that, with Southgate.
Another excellent film! Thanks
