Great Surprises,

This review is from: John Mills - The Centenary Collection Icon Box Set [DVD] (DVD)
Loving old movies, particularly WW2 and military, I had to buy this set to get hold of "Morning Departure" - that was the start - the set is brilliant, yes I now have duplicates of some but in this set are some gems which I would not normally have purchased - The October Man, The History of Mr Polly, Great Expectations to name but three - sets like this teach you so much about the depth of talent that is John Mills - I can honestly say I have not seen him in a bad movie and he has made many - my earliest film with Mills in is Goodbye Mr Chips (not in this set) - if you like variety, if you enjoy a good yarn, if you respect a good performance, if you appreciate what we have probably lost in modern cinema - you will love this box set, and it is sold on Amazon at a cracking price.
