It's one of my favouite films, i think it's hilarious. alec Guiness is wonderful and all the supporting cast are excellent.

A delicious film with a fine Alec Guinness and a good use of Prokofiev's music. A London gone forever, unfortunately.
Yeah! That's my Gulley Jimson!!

Hodges: Are you sure that Sir and Lady Beeder are expecting you?
Gulley Jimson: Expecting me? They're down on their knees praying for me.

I agree. Sir Alec is hilarious in this movie. I bought the DVD I enjoyed it so much.
Of course, in real life, the protagonist - Gulley Jimson - would not be considered so funny.

It's posts like this that are what have made following the CFB these past few years so great.
Back in the early 80's, my English Lit teacher loaned me her copy of the Joyce Cary novel - it had nothing specifically to do with the syllabus, but she (correctly) thought I would greatly enjoy reading it. I had no idea until now that the novel had ever been filmed - I see it came out the year following the author's death.
