I watch this every year. I had it on laserdisc for years and now have it on the superb Criterion DVD transfer. It's hard to believe that this technicolor Powell-Pressberger masterpiece was filmed during war time 1943 England.
The film has so much to speak of: Livesey's acting and aging, Deborah Kerr's multiple performances, the friendship between the two men, etc.
Of course the film was not a favorite of Churchill's. It was due to Scorsese's love for the film that it was one of Criterion's first laserdisc transfers, and the current Scorcese commentary was also on the LD.
