The starting hymn?


The film starts with a hymn. Another film, "Travels With My Aunt", with Maggie Smith again, starts with the same hymn! Would anybody know the name this hymn please?...

I wish I could help you, but I don't know either. And, I'm just commenting, because frankly, I'm surprised no-one else has!

I hope you've found out by now, and if not, that you will.

I am the movies I love! (^_^)

The hymn being sung is "From Greenland's Icy Mountains" by Bishop Heber, an appropriate choice in a missionary connexion. The tune is "Aurelia" (Wesley).

This is an underrated film, I think, a somewhat uneven script but good performances and many enjoyable incidents.

"I beseech ye in the bowels of Christ, think that ye may be mistaken."
