Sadly Over-hyped
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Roaming Through Northern Ireland (1949) ** 1/2 (out of 4) TravelTalk entry this time takes a look at Ireland, which is a location the series hit many, many times. This short pretty much takes a look at stuff like the land, the hills, the ocean, rivers and so on. With that in mind on a visual level the short is quite beautiful but the print shown on Turner Classic Movies is rather beat up and faded so the Technicolor really isn't given a chance to shine but at least we have a channel to play rarer films like this. It should once again be noted that today's internet will turn up better stuff so it's important to keep in mind when this was made and remember that, for the time, this was probably very entertaining stuff to people, which is probably why this series ran for so long.
