What a wonderful and uplifting movie. I so enjoyed it from start to finish. I wish it would have had a sequel...but it as very inspiring and a good lesson to all about how important KINDNESS is to us and those we are in touch with. I looked at this several times on line, before deciding to order it. Am so glad I did. A wonderful story.....great writing.

We watched this when it was released in the 1980s. It has stood the test to time as a window into English Boarding School life in the early to mid 20th century.

We watched this years ago when it was available on Netflix and were delighted to find it on eBay when we wanted to watch it again. The main character is hugely sympathetic as he deals with tragedy and small victories, and he is surrounded by a wonderful cast of eccentrics.
