This Happy Breed (1944 David Lean)

Kay Walsh gives one of the great screen performances; Celia Johnson ain't half bad too. Love the story that the latter liked to go home punctually and after making cast and crew cry over reunion scene (one of the great emotional moments in film) upped and casually buggered off.

From this viewing these lines have become embedded in my head:

"Chuck us the crackers Vi."

and

"Go and cherish yourself off home."

Quite why this is one of the best films ever made I can't properly explain.
