Made in 1948 and I can hear every word clearly. Films/dramas on TV made with modern equipment and played on modern sound systems...I have to put the subtitles on because the actors mumble and/or the 'background' music is way off balance and drowns the actors out..

It's because many of the old time actors studied elocution at school and later at the Roya Academy at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts to perform mainly in theatre where one's voice had to "carry" to the back of the theatre. Unfortunately, with film current actors may "mumble" b/c of body microphones, etc. making it unnecessary to speak as clearly. My opinion!

Nicely put.

I love looking at decor and furnishings. My poor gran lived in a flat stuck in the poorest class level of the 40s but I loved it. Lino, gas meter. Filed down half pennies to fake shillings in gas meter, players weights in packets of five for a shilling, bread and dripping or sugar, lovely. No mod cons, outside loo. Later on in 60s, TV you put sixpence in the slot to watch for an hour or so. Scruffy old furniture. So simple and so easy.

@MaryKane-qv5vz

With the indoor gas meters a shilling was of course required for use. When emptied by gas man once he got the required amount the few shillings left over came to my Mum. She would be delighted to exchange with her next door neighbour the returns they each got. A big day for both of them. I don't think they ever thought of filing down a half penny. Those were the days. At least we had our country to ourselves, not like now.

This is one of my favourite films. There were two issues the film couldn't address. Firstly, Mr. Polly and his wife needed to be childless in order for us to keep our sympathy for him. It would have been beyond the pale for him to run out on young children. Secondly , as Alfred can't get a divorce without revealing that he's still alive, he'll have to "live in sin" with the Innkeeper but this means that the film isn't able to directly show that their relationship is more than platonic.

My dad did a Mr Polly, but he did it at 17. Left England on a boat for Australia in 1948, and transformed his life completely. Takes courage and good sense (plan ahead a bit), not many have both these things...perhaps.

Superb film!

If you are tired of your life change it. Excellent film based on an early Wells mainly driven by the energy of John Mills with a nice little cameo by Finlay Currie.

Comparing reality to a romantic fantasy movie always fails.

Pleasant surprise, very different.

I read the novel way back in 1976 or so as an English major, which looking back seemed an odd choice considering Wells' influence on sci-fi. But a good adaptation, although overall I prefer KIPPS with Michael Redgrave. Sally Ann Howes was quite the beauty at that age!

Lovely movie! Guess this was Mill’s daughter’s debut.
