Product description
Tom Oakley (John Thaw) is a cantankerous old man who, at the start of World War II, finds his life irrevocably changed when little Willie Beech (Nick Robinson) is evacuated from London and sent to live with him. Willie is a quiet, sad child with a disturbing past, but through Tom's friendship and attention, Willie's anxieties are smoothed away and a strong bond develops between this unlikely pair.

I wanted to get this DVD for an old friend. It was her favourite movie and she had been trying for a few years to find it on DVD, without success. I searched online and discovered that it was either out of stock, no longer available, exorbitantly expensive, or the sellers were not reputable. So I tried Amazon, which I should have done in the first place, and they came up with it straight away, at a very low price, extremely low postage cost and fast delivery. My friend is thrilled with it. Thank you Amazon!

Childhood Memories Of A Wartime English Village
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 November 2017Verified Purchase
Great Movie ! I was raised in an English Village as a small child during WW 2 and can relate to many things in this film ......
I was about 6 yrs old in 1944 and all I ever knew was War and its implications ( to a child it seemed a normal way of life as I knew no other ! )
The German bombers passed over us all the time on their way to bomb the industrial Midlands and when the air raid siren sounded I was hustled out of a deep childs sleep and into a shelter night after night . Of course I did not understand it all and it appeared quite normal .
BUT.........for reasons beyond me I am glad I was around at that time , for it was a time of unity for all and this only happens when everyone is in the same boat .
Although I was small I remember VERY WELL some of the stories that happened during that time in my life , very very clearly , you don't forget stuff like that ever ..... Oh and as a point of lighter relief the scene where the young lad was learning to ride a bike was something I related to entirely.
I was quite a bit younger than our movie hero and my father was in the Navy fighting for freedom , so my mother tried to help me ride this little old bike she had managed to buy second hand . One day she let me go with a push and bingo I rode a way before falling off , but very happy never the less. For the next several hours I rode around the village falling off numerous times with arms and legs well blooded , but I didn't card I could ride.
I have many little stories I could tell , but do not think many people would find them of interest.
The film is very well acted and took me back a lifetime with its content . I liked it very much , I hope you do . I rate it five stars and highly recommend it .

I love Mister Tom a grumpy ole man
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 April 2019Verified Purchase
Absolutely loved this film, brilliant acting and great locations. JT was amazing,a brilliant change from being a police man The boys mother was so much like mine I cried for the lad. I knew exactly how he felt. When he finally rides his friends bike down the hill, it's just a magical scene. The joy on his wee face was worth seeing,in the whole film.
In this time of death and uncertainty, everyone, should buy this ,as it's a reflection of how,humans, have been living.
Many people,who were alone,with no family members to help,now find Theres people willing to help.
Mr Tom,a grumpy ole man,but with a heart of gold. He stepped up to his mark, and helped this amazing young boy.
It's a traumatic film in bits,but love wins thru in the end. A family film,with a vital lesson, to all of us. Let's go that extra mile and help when you can,heed the warnings. And look out for those in need
It's a great film and all though I may spoil it for some it's a marvellous ending

Outstanding movie.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 June 2017Verified Purchase
I read book "Goodnight Mr Tom" only recently. Being an avid reader where has it been all my life. I just loved it. I laughed and cried all at the same time. The book is so well written if you close your eyes you can picture the scenes being described, Then I purchased the Bluray DVD version of the movie. Again just outstanding. But its a pity the movie was not hours longer as many parts of the book are not included in the movie. But what is included is true to the book. I cannot tell you about the picture quality or sound in this version of the movie as I was so involved in the story I didn't pay much attention to those aspects of the DVD. I wont go into what the story is about as other reviewers have done that. John Thaw is excellent as Mr Tom and the rest of the cast do a great job. This is a must see movie and deserves all the 5 star reviews. Also I would recommend reading the book to get the bits missed in the movie. Both are just outstanding.

A Touch of Genius .....
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 August 2020Verified Purchase
Now 86 years of age, I can vividly recall my life as a young boy in rural Sussex during the early years of World War 2. This brilliant TV film portrays the relationship of a lonely widower in his sixties, Tom Oakley, and a sensitive ten year old evacuee, Willie Beech, during the early years of the War. The late John Thaw gives an amazing and refreshing performance as 'Mister Tom' while Nick Robinson provides a memorable portrayal of the physically abused young boy from inner London who finds himself in a rural village of an England which has largely disappeared. It is a love story with a difference - a tale of an innocent wartime relationship between a widower who has lost both his wife and infant son and a young boy from inner London who has been physically and mentally abused by his mother and her twisted understanding of the Christian faith. If you have tears, prepare to shed them when watching this brilliant TV film - you will never see a more convincing portrayal of true love - against a background of rural England at a time of war. Here we see another side to the late John Thaw - a gentle and caring individual, alone with his faithful border collie but one who is still grieving the loss of both his wife and young son while he was away serving in World War 1. And Nick Robinson gives the performance of a lifetime as the timid evacuee, Willie Beech. This is truly an outstanding film and a fitting tribute to the late John Thaw. Make sure you don't miss it.

a worthwhile watch
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 May 2017Verified Purchase
Dvd seemed to be 'locked onto' audio description when trying to play the disc for the first time and it was really difficult to get it to play normally.
In fact, we eventually got it going with subtitles on as was worried it might revert to audio description if we tried to remove the subtitles!
Played fine though. It is a good film though not nearly as good as the book. Really disappointed zach doesn't say 'whizzo' once in the film!
Many scenes missed from the film. The relationship between mr tom and willie is preserved but the relationship between zach and willie suffers from the scene cutting. Still a worthwhile watch
