MCT:March 6, 2008Nice piece of old filmmaking, but regrettably not as watchable today as some of the better P&P works.

MCT:August 28, 2007I kind of like this film because Wendy surely knows what she wants and how to get it, but love has a way of getting involved and this film shows how that can come about. one of the earliest films dealing with women empowerment.

Another wonderfully inventive story from the Archers. Whimsical, passionate and at times outrageous. Their best pictures borderline delerious. And what is it with their colorful lead characters?

MCT:August 4, 2007i didn't get this one at all. it seems everyone else has given it such high ratings too. i followed it all well, and understood it all... but it just didn't seem that interesting to me. the only light at the end of the tunnel was when i thought the whirlpool was going to have it's way with the main characters. i don't think powell and pressburger films are my sort of thing, and no i really can't appreciate it for what it is....... the most dull and boring love story i've ever seen in my opinion

Begging to be re-made in the 21st century! (With maybe Rachel McAdams and Ioan Gruffudd?) Charming, adorable, so re-watchable.

The plot synopsis of this film would make it seem like the type of romantic comedy favorable in the era that later became unbearable cliche, but Powell and Pressburger have this amazing ability to make their own movies transcend their narrative space to maintain an intriguing and quirky tale of any type. They return to their concepts of kindness, fate, and environment (such as they used with Life and Death of Colonel Blimp and Black Narcissus) to provide a tale of a gold-digger woman who, what a surprise!, finds out that there's more to life than money.
Best to start at the beginning: the script. Powell and Pressburger have an eye for dialog and character that allows even the most obnoxious of characters inevitably lovable, as is the case of Joan Webster who goes to the most absurd lengths to ignore the obvious (and how!) love developing between her and Torquil.
However, the two grand filmmakers are not just subtle but amazingly flashy, as shown in the dream sequence and the way Gallic mythology conglomerates into an exciting whirlpool adventure. This film is just as entertaining visually as it is narratively, and never does it let the audience down with any typical shot or a misplaced scene... everything matters, but it matters for fun, and there's not a moment hesitation between suspending disbelief and feeling real and THERE with the characters at all time.

My favourite Powell/Pressburger film, with a vibrant Wendy Hiller as rather connving Joan, determined to marry well! Instead, she is trapped on a remote Scottish island with the appealing Roger Livesey. Atmospheric and beautiful to look at, it is also a sweet romance. Lovely film.

A pleasant surprise of a movie. The ambience is perfect, rolling fog and stark moonlit scraggy hills.
