Wonderful Things! Audience Reviews

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
katya-39 An excellent cast, with Wilfred Hyde White. It was Ronnie Barker's first film. It also launched the career of Jean Dawnay, hailed as the new Grace Kelly. Frankie Vaughn stars as a hunky fisherman attracted to a society girl. Shot in black and white, with the innocence and charm of the 1950's. It is a real pity films like these are not shown on TV more regularly. The language is dated, a la Brief Encounter, but this adds to the charm. No violence, no sex, no swearing just some catchy songs, a happy ending, and a beautiful cast. "Hurry little fishes, hurry if you can - You will find a welcome, in my frying pan!" Perhaps the film should be remade casting Paris Hilton in the lead role as Anne. It is impossible to find a copy on DVD or video, but it would be great to see films such as these relaunched as a box set - I'm sure there are plenty of this era and genre.
tsutherland-1 An overlooked gem of a film, with beautiful music and superb performances.This film was one of the top grossing films of the year, and its theme song, Wonderful Things, was top of the charts.The story of a fisherman in Gibralter who falls in love with a beautiful young English girl is told with wonderful grace and humor. It is almost impossible to find this film, and I have never managed to track down a DVD or VHS recording.The producers should release it again by 2008 to celebrate the 50th anniversary!
