This is another perfectly good classic tale wrecked by being used as a vehicle for delivering messages about modern society rather than a great story told with verve and enthusiasm. It was over long and full of philosophical rumination which I frankly found tedious. It is far too gloomy IMO. Redemption is muted and not gloriously celebrated. I will never watch it again in contrast to the Alistair Sim version which I have seen countless times and enjoyed on every occasion.
