Noe Coward script directed by David Lean, plays like a British version of Cavalcade....and although well written and beautifully shot, is kind of dry and lifeless.

A gripping view of life for one family between WW1 and WW2 beautifully paced and filmed

Not as patronising as the title may suggest another classic piece by Noel Coward ably transferred from the stage by David Lean. Superb performances by Celia Johnson and Robert Newton baked up by the good stalwarts John Mills, Stanley Holloway and pretty Kay Walsh as the social climbing Freda. Excellent snapshot of between- the- wars lower middle class life.

Lean plus Coward always results in a good film. It doesn't really compare to Brief Encounter though. Worth seeing for the social/political comment it makes on life betwixt the wars.

Another David Lean, Noel Coward adaption, This Happy Breed follows the life of a suburban family between the two world wars. A two decade long epic this film has great character development and shows marriage, death, abandonment, and the rest of the occasions a family goes through. It has some funny snip bits of dialogue, and I especially like the communist/anarchists discussion. The film is somewhat dry, but it remains touching and relevant.
