Brilliantly effective use of black and white, first class acting and production, this old Oscar winner made my wife and I sit up entranced. It is a far better movie that most of the latest hi tech surround sound efforts. Maybe the sound track dated it the most but otherwise no contest.
I had seen it many, many years ago but had forgotten how good it was.

Did you see the film industry doco on SBS last weekend ? - JDK 23:22:31 05/05/02 (1)
"The Monster That Ate Hollywood"
Sadly, it was right on the money - these days they get a great idea for a trailer first. Then they spin it out to try and make a movie out of it. Then they hire Tom Cruise to "act" in it.
Could you imagine the trailer for "How Green Was My Valley" if it WAS made today ? - Cinema goers would be put to sleep before the feature even came on :~)

I love movies like that. Wuthering Heights (the first one) seems to do the same for me.
Hey! By the way... What�s up with Olivia Newton John these days! :P
I think the world deserves grease II
