Excellent piece of film making

Rating: 9/10 (22 February 2001)

I remember seeing this film at the cinema with my parents in 1981 and I was impressed then.
When I watch the film now I look past the somewhat slow moving plot, and am more taken in by the great camera work, sets and costumes that really transport you into that time and place. The now famous theme music is about as perfect a score as you could want.
A great piece of British film-making.
