About this product

Product Information

Based upon director John Boorman's experiences as a young boy during World War II, HOPE AND GLORY stars Sebastian Rice-Edwards as Bill Rowen. Seen mostly from the nine-year-old boy's perspective, the film is uniquely astute in exploring the exhilarating effect that the bombing of his London suburb and the war's general tumult has on a young boy, at least temporarily. After bombing raids, Bill and his mates scavenge through the rubble of destroyed buildings, carrying off still-smoking shrapnel as booty. When the boy's school is leveled by the bombing, putting the local kids on permanent vacation, the Luftwaffe pilot is hero for a day. For Bill's harried mother, Grace (Sarah Miles), the war is less amusing. Not only is her husband away fighting, but the war's disorder has made her children more difficult to control, especially her teenage daughter, Sue (Geraldine Muir), whose burgeoning sexuality makes Grace nervous about arriving Canadian troops. Then one day, while the Rowens are out, their house is demolished by a bomb, and Bill begins to see the war a little differently. Boorman's superb re-creation of the London blitz is likely the best account of that experience on film. Through the accretion of a myriad of brilliantly observed details, he immerses the viewer in the reality of wartime London yet gives due weight to the subjective nature of that experience for each of the family members in a film that's flawlessly executed by all hands.

    Arrived quickly, as described. The box was seriously crushed on one corner all the way to the center of the box. BUT due to excellent packing, there was no damage to the two glass bowls. I appreciate this kind of care by the seller. Thank you for your responsibility!!!

    Just as promised - An Escape from the Ordinary

    So glad to finally have this jewel of a film for our collection. We loved this as kids. Just as described, it tells the story of London's WWII from a child's viewpoint. But now, seeing it through the eyes of an adult, as a parent makes it so much more special - it really works on all levels. And grandpa - curmudgeonly, eccentric and so poignant in his resigned embrace of the'law of life' remains the favorite of everyone in my family.

    WWII coming-of-age masterpiece

    The technical merits of this transfer are sub-par, but the fact that it's the only digital transfer available makes it well worth the purchase. Engaging and exciting must see coming-of-age family drama filled with well-developed characters and great performances, especially by the adorable lead Sebastian. Beautifully photographed. Have the honor of knowing one of the film's assistant directors. No English subtitles, but closed-captioned. Rated PG-13 for thematic elements including an intense sequence of war violence, sexual content and some strong language.
