a heartwarming film . the usual superb acting by john thaw and who pass over recently . a man who be always so unassuming . he be one of england top 10 actor certainly of my time . he can be remember for his famous role of inspector morse . a jack regan in the 1970 hit tv series the sweeney and a a barrister in kavanah qc . a must see for all the family and a great dvd for my collection . the filming will bring back a few memory for people who remember wartime britain and certainly those who be evacuate out of london to escape the german bombing . the interaction between the two main character . tom and the boy william be really well acted and true to the book by michelle magorian .
