Comment
This film documents the life of an extended lower middle class family between 1919 and 1939 and is a fascinating insight into how in the middle of the second world war, the presvious two decades were viewed from this perspective. David Lean draws out good performances from a cast of good British actors from the period, particularly from Celia Johnson, Robert Newton and Kay Walsh
