A warm, pleasant and charming film about how a person changes throughout life, the people one gets to know, the friendships, and the inspiration that one can provide for many others. It is not so much a film that amazes, but rather one that is hard to flaw. The cast is good, but in particular Robert Donat is excellent, playing the title character from youth adulthood to older age. The film manages to capture both the spirit of youth (the schoolboys) and the experience of their teachers, making it a very well rounded film. Together with an excellent makeup job and a good selection of music to fit the film, the overall result is very praiseworthy.
