  • Brilliant – The cinematography of Jack Cardiff was literally ‘out of this world’!
    Stood the test of time, despite the stagey performances of some.
  • Beautifully shot in wonderful Technicolor. A real treat from a great film maker.
  • But sound very loud.
• ‘Very Good’: 4 votes
  • A great film – so good to see it on a big screen, restored. So appropriate for Valentine’s Day!
  • Good that this was shown of Valentine’s Day. Nail biting stuff held one’s attention
    throughout. Good morale booster for the future after WWII
  • An extraordinary achievement for its time; highly imaginative!
  • A novel idea. I was interested to hear the prosecution and defence. David Niven was a good
    choice for the part – lovely eyes
• ‘Good’: 2 votes
