 'This Happy Breed' is a splendidly acted classic portraying how an ordinary British family lived between the wars. Just after WWI the Gibbons family moves to a nice house in the suburbs. The inhabitants of 17 Sycamore Road are ordinary people, with their irritable in-laws, their just-plain-folks camaraderie, and their unshakeable belief that no matter how hard the times are, Mother England is forged of good stock and common sense will somehow prevail. This is a wonderful adaptation of Noel Coward's play, written by Anthony Havelock-Allan and directed by the great David Lean. |
