Format:DVD
Have been waiting for this to come out on DVD for ages.This is a classical black and white movie of the romantic genre that always makes you want to cry. A brilliant story of love conquering all. Set after the war it stars two of the great leads of the romantic genre, Greer Garson and Ronald Coleman.A brilliant story take on the girl meets boy,girl loses boy then boy finds girl leading to a feelgood happy ending. A really great movie full of atmosphere that will have you crying at the end BRILLIANT.

If you haven't seen this film, I would advise you not to read Derek Stiles review before you do. Though unsurprisingly he certainly enjoys it, I am really sorry he has told the story in his review because this is a MAGNIFICENT film which bears seeing again and again - but the first time is absolutely unforgettable because of the surprise (and deeply sad) turn the film takes. I first saw it by chance as a young wife, it was the only film during which I ever saw my husband shed a tear - and my children too absolutely love it, even though it's in black and white! I think it was re-made in today's vein of film, it could lose a lot of its simple charm.

A beautiful old weepie with an unlikely plot, but the ending always moves me to tears.
The proposal scene between the two main characters is the sweetest on film in my opinion. Ronald Coleman and Greer Garson are a dream together.
Greer Garson was on a roll in 1942. After this she went on to make 'Mrs Miniver' and win an Oscar. This put her in two of the most succesful and best remembered films of that year.
Imagine how important escapism like this was in those grim, horrific war years.
Buy it in for the next rainy weekend. My copy plays fine on my region 2 machine as well as my multi region.
