Miss Pilgrim's Progress [1949] [DVD] Michael Rennie (actor) Yolande Dolan (actor)
Format: all-region dvd (worldwide) Runtime: 1h22m Quality: Good, b/w, 4:3 (unrestored)
A factory girl from Hoboken does a one-month swap with a British girl and is billeted in an isolated West Country hamlet of 30 houses, no mains services, many rustic eccentrics, and a daily five-mile cycle-ride to the factory. Michael Rennie and she have an on/off courtship under strain from Government plans to develop the area. Her involvement embarrassingly results in national publicity. A rather pleasing glimpse into England of 1949 and how we saw ourselves. Some good chuckles and memorable lines here and there.
Also appearing are Jon Pertwee, Peter Butterworth and Valentine Dyall. |
