Classic tale.....'if you wish hard enough'

Rating: 9/10 (2 March 1999)

Waited two years to see this film, because of being on this side of the pond. Was I disappointed after this long wait?
No way. Fantastic story, very well told.
Acting, from all concerned, is....well, real. These people are their characters. The look and feel of the movie date back to an earlier time. The film is never rushed and the story is allowed to unfold at its own pace.
Did I have a tear in my eye at the end, too bloody right I did. If you don't then you are not human.
First class.
