★★★★★ · Very Sweet, Engrossing Film as Only the British Could Do · Poohbah70 · 2019-06-20
Wonderful sort of "Here Comes Mr. Jordan" Fantasy cum melodrama about the owners and residents of a London boarding and their newest boarder. Conrad Veidt (The Stranger) gives a touching, gentle performance as the new boarder, whose presence and conversation eventually sorts out all the problems. The entire cast was well-chosen and give excellent performances, the plot good, the script good - everything good - including cinematography.
