Life on the Thames Audience Reviews

Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Michael_Elliott Life on the Thames (1950) *** (out of 4) One of the better entries in MGM's TravelTalks series starts off at the Tower of London and travels down the Thames River. That's pretty much what we get here and it really does make for one of the most entertaining entries simply because of everything we get to see in such a short time. I really enjoyed seeing how the 150-mile river changes as it goes along. We learn that it has 27 bridges along the way as well as several toll-gate like sections. We also get to learn that those who own land by it want to make sure they have it well decorated and looking nice with flowers and various other items. Not only that but we learn about the swimming, fishing and the business that the river holds. As you'd expect, the narration by James A. FitzPatrick is top-notch with all sorts of information given out and that wonderful Technicolor really shows off everything perfectly.
