I bought this set because I knew 'A Matter of Life and Death', and the others are just as good. Yes, even after all this time... kids, teenagers, grown ups, everybody was glued to these, and some of them don't even speak English. If you have a few quid lying around you can't do much better than spend it on these dvds. Classic stories, good acting, beauty, wit, emotion ... what more could you ask for?!

Excellent little set. A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH is a great film but of the three the one I liked least. Granted, it has fabulous moments such as the time warp, the stairway to heaven, the operation with David Niven's eyelid closing, excellent photography, a very clever screenplay, superb acting by all, and fantastic direction. The downside to me was Americans and Brits battling it out in heaven. Given that I am neither Brit nor American, I found it a long and uninvolving tirade that sadly deprived the film of the universality it had had up to that point. I am sure if you're American or Brit you'll feel differently, though, so I fully accept that this is just my viewpoint.
I KNOW WHERE I AM GOING is a wonderfully courageous film about woman's emancipation and the sheer difficulties of existence, love, and adaptation to a new place. Unsurpassed photographic quality, sublime direction, and acting of the highest standard make this a must see even if it has its abrupt moments here and there.
COLONEL BLIMP is my favorite amongst these films, and amongst all of Michael Powell's films second only to BLACK NARCISUS. It is a beautifully photographed film with a wonderful central performance by Roger Livesey with a lovely Deborah Kerr at his side at various points in his life, and an absolutely must-see performance by Anton Walbrook. The scene of the sword fight with the snow falling outside is one of those I shall never forget...
All told, a great product at a fantastic price. Real value for money.

These are 3 films that I was anxious to see. I would still like to see them some time in the future. I have had 3 copies of this set of DVDs so far. With each set I have been able to watch ...Colonel Blimp but neither of the other two will read on my main DVD player or the DVD players I have attached to my two computers. The sound track works with "A Matter of Life and Death" on the computer but "I know where I am Going" has only got as far as the warning screen. I am waiting for the next copy but have no doubt it will be returned also.
