Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Andrew SA little known but absolutely brilliant movie and my fave ever. It's a beautifully told, simply story whose depth and beauty comes from the fact that this is a simple tail, VERY well told and VERY well acted (mainly by youngsters).
User Review - 10/10 by Andy SOne of my fave films of all time.. The first ever Ealing film. Beautifully written, acted and shot. An excellent 'feel good' film :-)
User Review - 8/10 by Dave HEnjoyable Ealing comedy set in bomb damaged post WWII London. A kids adventure film really of derring do as a group of children foil the dastardly plot of a criminal gang lead by Jack Warner. Alastair Sim is great in a small role as a comic writer who helps the kids. Harry Fowler who plays the lead kid is excellent and steals much of the film, especially in his climactic brawl with Jack Warner.
User Review - 8/10 by Paul DThe plot is a little silly - teenagers vs crooks in postwar London, but Alastair Sim is in it and he's always worth watching. And the sets are phenomenal -- the streets of bombed out London immediately after the war (released 1947, probably shot in '46). I had to think of Germany Year Zero, made at the same time in bombed out Berlin and also starring a gang of young boys. But instead of a lighthearted comedy, it's a dire tragedy. There's a kid in the British film that speaks only in sound effects, and the sounds he makes are sirens, bombs falling, doodlebugs, more sirens - chilling.
User Review - 8/10 by Sean CAlways nice to catch up on some vintage Ealing comedy to chill out to at the end of a full day. It moves at a zip and establishes the premise very quickly. Loved the bit where the woman wouldnt talk until a mouse popped onto her chair.
User Review - 8/10 by Anne FThis film, considered to be the first Ealing comedy, was filmed in London in 1947 and shows many scenes of the damage caused by wartime bombings. It's the story of a group of children tracking down a criminal gang and gives a lovely view of how teenagers and pre-teens behaved at that time. Alastair Sim was not on-screen for much of the film but he was brilliant when he was in the camera's gaze, whilst Jack Warner played a wonderfully evil baddie.
User Review - 6/10 by Ilsa Lrecognised as the first Ealing comedy, centres around a group of youths who discover a criminal gang directing their operations through a magazine. Police laugh it off at first but the young lads are unrepentent in their efforts to bring those responsible to justice.Although the film is enjoyable it's the images of post war london that will linger in the memory the most
User Review - 6/10 by Paul MGreat movie, one that is very much of it's time but still manages to entertain young and old.
