A Damn Sexy Film
Is it just me? Am i the only person who finds this film sexually *charged*? The scene with the hang-gliding raccoons is an amazing piece of choreography/film-noir.
shareHmmm... missed that bit.
Must have been the Director's Cut.

I climbed the highest mountain to look down on you, but you was gone; drat.
Nothing exists more beautifully than nothing.
Me to, Ethel is Hot.
shareJust seen your post - albeit almost 18 months later - your're freaks. Get a proper life
sharewhat a waste of your time!
shareWell...this thread title and most of the posts are facetious of course, but...
I certainly could see falling for an English rose like Kay Walsh, who plays Queenie in the film, if I were a G.I. in England during World War II.
I thought she WAS "damn sexy!"
Queenie went to Singapore which means she would have been one of thousands slaughtered by the Japanese. They used people for bayonet practice and spared no one, anglo, Malay, Chinese, etc.
sharePoor Queenie...
Kay Walsh certainly didn't age well. I saw her in "The Horse's Mouth" (1958), and even though it was made only fourteen years after "This Happy Breed," her face looks like a mud fence! Her barmaid character in "The Horse's Mouth" even makes a disparaging remark about "... a face like mine."
Poor Kay Walsh!
>Kay Walsh certainly didn't age well.
I saw her in Tunes of Glory yesterday and she certainly didn't age well at all. I found myself doing the math, it was made only 16 years after this film. I was actually a little shocked.
she didn't 'age well' because she wasn't much of a looker in the first place. the actress who plays her mom in this movie is significantly more attractive, and, pathetically, has a better body.
