worth it for James Mason
Review date: 2008-09-01 Rating: 6 out of 10
I had not heard of this film until I read MADE IN YORKSHIRE by Tony Earnshaw and Jim Moran. They say it was the only film made by Yorkshireman James Mason in Yorkshire. I think they are wrong. He made a film with his former wife Pamela in the 1940's in Yorkshire. Her dad who was a Yorkshire textile baron, financed it.
The Water Babies film is worth watching but not as good as it could have been. It was from the same team who made The Railway Children but how could anyone hope to match that classic.
Mason is brilliant and is the underrated Billie Whitelaw.
The cartoons sadly, are not.
