This Happy Breed**
(GB 1944)
Two Cities/Cineguild. 114m.
The lives of a suburban working class London family between the wars.
Evocative and well abridged between the various events (miraculously finding locations in London that were not affected by the Luftwaffe), although some of the stars have a variety of unconvincing make-ups, snappily directed by an emerging new talent.
Written by: Anthony Havelock-Allen, David Lean, Ronald Neame, from the play by Noel Coward.
Producer: Noel Coward.
Director: David Lean.
Starring: Robert Newton, Celia Johnson, Kay Walsh, John Mills, Stanley Holloway, Amy Veness, Alison Leggatt, Eileen Erskine, John Blythe, Guy Verney, Laurence Olivier (voice only).
Photography: Ronald Neame.
Music: Clifton Parker.
