I have the DVD of this the imported korean version.I bet there is a better copy out there but this is good and the sound is perfect aswell.
Made in 1940 it is still as brilliant now as it was upon its realease.Vivien Leigh in her firt role since Gone With The Wind plays Mara a young ballet dancer who meets Captain Roy Cronin (Robert Taylor)in an air raid warning on Waterloo Bridge in World War 1.They fall in love instantly and agree to marry one day before he has to go back to fight in France.They dont get married as Captain Cronin is called back into action.Months go by and Mara reads that Cronin is dead in a newspaper.After loseing everything she turns prostitute though not said once in the movie you just know that she has.In a chance meeting Capain Cronin returns and finds Mara.They agree to go to live with his mother Scotland but a terrible thing happens (i wont spoil it for the people who havent seen it yet.
Idont think this film has even seen the day of light since its realese nominated for 2 Academy Awards.It has a massvie following in China but has never got a dvd realease in uk or america there is a very rare and hard to get old of copy by a russian company.Overal this is one of my fav movies of all time.

Well you may not have heard of this film, but you will certainly know of Vivien Leigh, from (Gone with the wind).Set during the 2nd world war in London, a brief chance meeting with Robert Taylor son of very wealthy parents who have a home and land not similar to the Queen Anyway its Love at first sight, a proposal of marrage....Vivien L is a Dancer (Ballet that is)..........She is Sacked due to meetings with the love of her life, she falls on some very hard times with her best girlfriend also a Ballet dancer...They get into something unacceptable in those days. Vivien reads the paper while Robert Taylor is away she thinks he is dead killed in action. Her entire world falls apart she's in a complete daze. much Later he returns from the wars. he then explains it was an error. Do you think its plain sailing from here on...No Way. Vivien meets R.T parents Riddled with guilt and concience that drives her crazy, that only a person with honour and integrity would relate to...Not many people these days have real respect for each other, times have changed....But the ending WOW....BUY THIS....DVD...its brilliant...Also buy her other film ANNA KARENNINA...SHE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL...AND THE SWEETEST SMILE..David Grant
