Pleasantly Surprised

This was a very good movie, I was surprised that I liked it. Very good acting, great script and just a beautiful film!

Knowing nothing about it, having never read the book, I watched it while I'm on a John Ford marathon. I expected a dated movie but it touched me deeply. It's a very timely movie now, seeing the effects of COVID on the economy.

Surprised? This movie has a reputation as one of the finest films ever made, based on one of the finest novels ever written
