Perhaps not the first film that comes to mind at the mention of Alec Guinness but this is, nevertheless, an amiable ensemble affair. Guinness holds centre stage, as a stuffed shirt who, having been diagnosed with a fatal illness, discovers all-too-late that he's been missing out on the finer things in life. It's the supporting cast, however, that gives the film the animated gentility that is so achingly British. Kay Walsh, Wilfrid Hyde White, Sid James and Ernest Thesiger stand out among the eccentrics and everyday folk who populate JB Priestley's heart-warming script.
