i think this is a fantastic film. The quality is pretty bad which is an awful shame but the story itself still scares me each time i watch it. I decided to take myself off to my room last night with a cup of tea and this film and for the entirety of the film i was scared witless. I do admit i am scared by a lot of films but there is something so completely compelling and unlike anything else about black and white suspense and horror. I am an avid movie fan full stop although b&w still comes up tops in my favourite style ... Read More:

OH YES!! I'd waited years for this to come out on Video and it didn't, and then DVD, now it's finally happened, and I still can't believe it!

One of Googie Withers' greatest movies (I contacted Ms. Withers about this movie some years ago and she was kind enough to reply from Australia) Googie made many great films during this period of her career, and was one of Britain's biggest film stars, but no part had as many close-up shots as this which are always so very difficult to do, and very demanding.

I first watched the film as a youngster in the early 1970's, and have been holding out for the widescreen version - and very glad I did!
The digital soundtrack offers a cinematic experience, adding to the excitement of the story, offering everything you'd expect from a musical.
Not only is the film offered in original widescreen format, the 'special features' and the free Corgi model car enhance the excitement.
From on-set stills, to exclusive interviews with the main cast, this is well worth every penny.
The story is as enchanting ... Read More:

The History Of Mr Polly

starring: John Mills, Sally Ann Howes, Finlay Currie, Betty Ann Davis, Megs Jenkins
directed by: Anthony Pelissier

January 15, 2007
You don't get better 'cinema' than this. Such characters and settings and a feeling for the age it was set in are so difficult to capture but the effect of a great cast that will never be bettered has created a masterpiece of British cinema and a great tribute to the story teller from which it came in H G Wells.

Poor Mr Polly. Dreaming of a life of romance, adventure and heroism. Only to be found in the pages of books that he has to hide from his nagging and unadventurous wife. The score enriches the pages of his meanderings with their comedic ... Read More:
