4.0 out of 5 stars Big Al,Oxford, 28 Nov 2008
By Big Al "A H OXFORD" (Oxford,England) - See all my reviews
This is a wonderful warm funny film from the days of the British film industry,when they didnt bother about appealing to a foriegn market they just made great films and put them out.Directed by David Lean and starring Charles Laughton as a fat bossy father of 3 daughters who is at a loss when his eldest daughter decides to marry one of his employees.Apart from a protracted drunken sequence the film skips along with sparkling dialogue and a great comic turn from John Mills as the hapless bootboy chosen by Brenda De Banzie to be her husband.I must have watched this film a dozen times or more over the years and cannot reccomend it more highly.Buy it and enjoy!

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant from start to finish! Fantastic story line and wonderful acting by all of the cast without exception. Full of subtle comedy, this film will never become outdated. Must be one of the best films ever made.
