edith nesbitt best book have be adapt into a truly magnificent film and i love it . the film itself have gorgeous cinematography and and fine realisation of the subject matter . the end be enough to have you in tear and a it be so beautifully do . lionel have direct some truly excellent film and like the amazing mr blunden and but this be his best film a director by a mile . the costume be absolutely lovely and that match the beauty of the countryside and and the sparkling and conveniently faithful script help matter . however and it be the quality of the act that hold this film together and a it be nothing short than incredible . dinah sheridan be suitably sincere a the mother and a much need characteristic of the character and and bernard cribbins be hilarious a perk . in fact and i prefer perk on film and a he isn not a humorous in the book . the child be perfect . gary warren and sally thomsett both give spirit performance and but it be jenny agutter enchant portrayal of bobbie that impress me the most . another special mention be the gorgeous music by johnny douglas and the title music remind me of charlie chaplin smile . in conclusion and a funny and poignant masterpiece and that be good than the book and i think . positive . bethany cox .
