Your sympathies are with the characters because they're admirable people, and their fight is (and always will be) very important. The government's assertion that "the King can do no wrong" has to be fought. <br />Linda J.

Well said! This is a superb film that deserves far more attention. The "let right be done" scene is powerful and the closing scene ends the film on a perfect note. The 1999 remake is also very good, but not quite up to par with this one.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-11534301000462805522016-06-12T05:02:51.339-07:002016-06-12T05:02:51.339-07:00This certainly is a play for the ages, like you sa...This certainly is a play for the ages, like you said. I've not seen this version – I'm more familiar with the 1999 version with Jeremy Northam.<br /><br />The Winslow Boy is jam-packed with great stuff, as you pointed out: a fascinating story, lively characters, a great script and a thought-provoking message. You've made me want to see both versions now! :)Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-15973218703186786102016-06-12T01:23:51.194-07:002016-06-12T01:23:51.194-07:00Wow, I've never heard about this movie before,...Wow, I've never heard about this movie before, but your review sounds exciting!

This is a favourite courtroom movie of mine and it does a wonderful job elaborating on the conflict between law in principle and law as a act of force on individual people. A great example of legal cinema's golden age. Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
