Reactions from the web

Honestly, my favourite scene from my favourite film. And I've seen quite a few films...

@CKC_Silents 1

The scene wgere Sim's character discusses the glueman with one of the country girls is very nice.

@JohnSmith-zq9mo 2

Very well played (and filmed) scene. Quite moving; indeed the whole film has an air of magic about it.
