i first saw this in the theater in 1969 when i be 9 and immediately fell in love with it . i be sad that sony have not see fit to release this on dvd ( but one day and one day . ) . i recently obtain a vhs copy of this on ebay and sit down to watch it 39 year later . i be happy to report it still stand the test of time . the acting be spot on and john williams orchestration be lush and leslie bricusse song memorable ( when i be old and you and i and fill the world with love and london be london be just a few of the standouts . and not enough can be say about peter o toole and petula clarke and michael redgrave and michael bryant acting . terence rattigan deserve an a plus for his update of the james hilton story . there really be nothing not to like about this film . it a good cheer me up selection . glad they have release the original soundtrack a a three cd set with lot of extra . wish sony would hurry up and do the same with the film .
