Richard Curtis with a touch of Capra.....

...I think that sums up the style and feel of this lovely little film. As Christopher Ecclestone says in the DVD interviews- this film is about the change in a man, and his redemption- a little like Christmas Carol-which of course was the inspiration for Its a Wonderful Life. This film is not in such broad a scope as those two films, but the emotions it conjures in the heart of the viewers are the same. Its all about spirit, overcoming self defeat and the harmony that can be achieved through social pathways.

Good film, great script/direction by Paul Andrew Williams (A Fellow Pompey boy).

-I wish it had had a few Oscar nods?-towards Stamp or Redgrave but-it was generally well received.

More please Mr Williams.
