The History of Mr Polly 1948 

Made in 1948 and I can hear every word clearly. Films/dramas on TV made with modern equipment and played on modern sound systems...I have to put the subtitles on because the actors mumble and/or the 'background' music is way off balance and drowns the actors out..

Such a wonderful movie. John Mills was so talented.

Truly wonderful story and a fantastic actor John mills is my favourite , all his films are believable ,full of emotion and truly remarkable & remembered by me always lovely

Getting my buttered popcorn and gonna enjoy a late night movie!!! I love the oldies! This one was made the same year my mom was born😊

That was a lovely film! Thank you.

We read this book at school in the 1950s. It is worth a glance even today.

Is it just me tonight, or is this film extraordinary in it's cinematography, it's range, something magic going on here... "Maybe it was just the drugs." - HS Thompson

Another British film good cast

We were Boomers with his girls, H & J, and they were our introduction to the British sweetness and a special loveliness in their films.

This is one of my favourite films. There were two issues the film couldn't address. Firstly, Mr. Polly and his wife needed to be childless in order for us to keep our sympathy for him. It would have been beyond the pale for him to run out on young children. Secondly , as Alfred can't get a divorce without revealing that he's still alive, he'll have to "live in sin" with the Innkeeper but this means that the film isn't able to directly show that their relationship is more than platonic.

Watched this brilliant film many times, John mills top of the tree, buried in Denham next to his home. His daughter played the little girl another fine actress..

Absolutely delightful!!!

This was the book I had to read for my GCE so know it word for word!!

Underrated message in this classic but no one has the attention span these days

Thanks for putting this up ,I have watched this film many times over the years, it's nice to see it again. I wish I could do a ' Mr. Polly ' what a lucky fellow.

Excellent cast.

I love looking at decor and furnishings. My poor gran lived in a flat stuck in the poorest class level of the 40s but I loved it. Lino, gas meter. Filed down half pennies to fake shillings in gas meter, players weights in packets of five for a shilling, bread and dripping or sugar, lovely. No mod cons, outside loo. Later on in 60s, TV you put sixpence in the slot to watch for an hour or so. Scruffy old furniture. So simple and so easy.

What a lovely film, seen it so many times and it leaves me feeling good, just like another HG Wells book The Time Machine. Thanks for sharing.

If you are tired of your life change it. Excellent film based on an early Wells mainly driven by the energy of John Mills with a nice little cameo by Finlay Currie.

In the 1950's this was the "O" Level Exam book for English Literature. - when we wore Boaters as School Uniform too.

One of my very favourites. Thank you for sharing ❤

Superb film!

Always loved this film

Those giggling cousins !

Never ever get bored of seeing this 'feel good' film.

This is funny and so many familiar faces.

WHAT A GOOD MOVIE, THANK YOU.

Thank you.

Thankyou x

I saw it already...love it. Watching again.

I reckoned two ladies in the film that have been acting for years there very good and so is john mills

Humanity has changed so much in the intervening years and not for the better.

Pleasant surprise, very different.

I read the novel way back in 1976 or so as an English major, which looking back seemed an odd choice considering Wells' influence on sci-fi. But a good adaptation, although overall I prefer KIPPS with Michael Redgrave. Sally Ann Howes was quite the beauty at that age!

Lovely movie! Guess this was Mill’s daughter’s debut.

Well i enjoyed that

Life was simple back then ,people were simple. Ĺittle kids now are rude. Leave alone the older ones. Humanity is headed to the gutters.

This was filmed at denham studios

Consequences of actions!

Kkkkkkkkkk Eu tô rindo até agora kkkkk

First MGTOW movie?

£500 …😳

Alf garnets wife.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The man had no character. If he didn't like the life why did he live it,should have took his 500 pounds and went to the country in the first place. Stupid man story.

Is the little girl Polly Juliette Mills? 1:05:38

Painful to watch, forced myself to watch 30 min. Waste of time
