| User ReviewFrances HNot the most exciting or fastest moving plot, but the beauty of the highlands and the braw physique of Bill Travers in a kilt is cute enough to enjoy the watch--if you want to see Travers best films, watch Ring of Bright Water (although the real star is the little otter he adopts) and, of course, Born Free, which is wonderful! If you want to see Alastair Sim at his best, of course, you watch Scrooge! |
| User ReviewKarsh DStory of a young wee lad who under goes a fitness and exercise course to help him grow big and strong and turns into a hammer throwing champion. An enjoyable charming film. |
| User ReviewPaul DA fine advert for Scottish patriotism and could be classed as a sports movie. It's a nice enough tale of a strong man with personal convictions and Bill Travers purposeful performance gets this across. |
| User ReviewSgt. C(58%) A charming and very simple watch that tells its sweet natured story well. The makers attempted to blend comedy, drama, and romance together and they did so creating a very watchable matinee type movie that very much shows its age (the pacing is more than a little off), but this is still a somewhat forgotten gem that's worth tracking down for fans of classic British cinema. |
| User ReviewMatthew DDespite its critical and commercial success upon release in 1955, Geordie is mundane, with a script that seems to prate on endlessly, and some abominable acting (I'm looking at you, Norah Gorsen, for your offensively English Scottish accent) that ruins whatever was left to ruin. PS. We do not sound like that. |
